[Analysis of inhibitory influences of the frontal regions of the cerebral cortex on alimentary responses in rabbits]. 1977

V G Zilov

Neurophysiological and neurochemical mechanisms of inhibitory influences of the frontal cortex on feeding both natural and evoked by electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus were studied in experiments on rabbits. It was shown that frontal cortical inhibition of feeding was eliminated by ipsilateral coagulation of the dorsal hippocampus. Different effects of some drugs on the threshold of evoked feeding and on the cortical inhibition were observed. Atropine (1 mg/kg) and Droperidol (0,3 mg/kg) abolished the inhibitory influences of the frontal cortex. Chlorpromazine (2 mg/kg) increased the threshold of feeding elicited by the stimulation of the hypothalamic "feeding centre" and had no effect on frontal cortical inhibition. Different influences of chlorpromazine on natural and evoked feeding were shown. A conclusion is drawn about different transmitters in brain structures involved in functional architectonics of feeding. Mechanisms of drugs' action on feeding are discussed.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.

D004329 Droperidol A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of HALOPERIDOL. It is used in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as FENTANYL to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon. It is also used as a premedicant, as an antiemetic, and for the control of agitation in acute psychoses.
