Abstract
Mild tail pinch reliably and rapidly induced eating, gnawing, or licking behavior in all animals tested. Eating was by far the predominant response. Pharmacological analysis of the involvement of the brain catecholamines in tail-pinch behavior suggests that it is critically dependent on the nigrostriatal dopamine system.

3,818 Citations1971Urban Ungerstedt
The ascending monoamine pathways in the rat brain are demonstrated by the pile up of fluorescent material occurring in the axons after various types of lesions, indicating a unique role for the locus coeruleus in influencing the activity of the entire brain.

It was concluded that bilateral complete degeneration of the nigro-striatal DA pathway produces severe, long lasting adipsia and aphagia, hypoactivity, difficulties to initiate activity and loss of exploratory behaviour and curiosity.

The most potent and specific neuroleptics seemed to influence mainly the brain DA mechanisms, both functionally and chemically.

Brain, NE, DA, and 5-HT can be assayed simultaneously from discrete samples by this method, which is based upon the alumina method described by Anton and Sayre, utilizing acid extraction of tissues and a single solvent step.

Reflexive fighting was elicited between paired rats as a reflex reaction to electric shock prior to any specific conditioning, and under optimal conditions fighting was consistently elicited by shock regardless of the rat's sex, strain, previous familiarity with each other, or the number present during shock.

A double cannula system, allowing repeated stimulation of central structures with crystalline chemicals, was developed to study the effects of adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus of rats.

A mildly painful electric shock was delivered every 30 seconds to the skin of male rats while they were with a receptive female rat, and successive shocks resulted in a pacing of sexual behavior.

One microliter of various concentrations of carbachol or norepinephrine was injected via a chronic cannula into the "feeding-drinking" area of the hypothalamus of satiated rats, which elicited less drinking, some lethargy, and then convulsions.
ScienceNorepinephrine: Reversal of Anorexia in Rats with Lateral Hypothalamic Damage

Recovery of feeding after hypothalamic lesions coincides with the recovery of noradrenergic reward function, and injection of norepinephrine in the lateral ventricles of rats recovering from lateral hypothalamic anorexia caused immediate feeding and, frequently, overeating.
