Effects of stimulating the cerebellar interpositus nucleus (IN) on the neuronal activity of lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) were first observed in the cat. The results showed that (1) IN stimulation could elicit inhibitory, excitatory, inhibitory-excitatory and excitatory-inhibitory responses from LHA neurones, with a majority of inhibitory responses (46.9%); (2) the responsive latencies of LHA neurones to IN stimulation ranged from 5 to 45 ms, while most (83.6%) showed a short latency of < 15 ms; (3) of 67 LHA neurones which responded to the IN stimulation, 42 (62.7%) cells were identified to be glucose-sensitive neurones. These results suggest that IN may be involved in the role of LHA modulating food intake behaviour, as well as other non-somatic functions.

D007026	Hypothalamic Area, Lateral	Area in the hypothalamus bounded medially by the mammillothalamic tract and the anterior column of the FORNIX (BRAIN). The medial edge of the INTERNAL CAPSULE and the subthalamic region form its lateral boundary. It contains the lateral hypothalamic nucleus, tuberomammillary nucleus, lateral tuberal nuclei, and fibers of the MEDIAL FOREBRAIN BUNDLE.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
