Effect of orexin-B-saporin-induced lesions of the lateral hypothalamus on performance on a progressive ratio schedule

It has been suggested that a sub-population of orexinergic neurones whose somata lie in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) play an important role in regulating the reinforcing value of both food and drugs.
