Extracted text: Dr. Denver studies the regulation of feeding behaviour in rats. To study the effects of damage to the hypothalamus, she injures the ventromedial hypothalamus and the lateral hypothalamus of rats. If her results replicate previous studies, what would you predict she finds? Rats with a damaged lateral hypothalamus begin to overeat. Rats with injury to the ventromedial hypothalamus stop eating. Rats with a damaged lateral hypothalamus show no change in eating habits. Rats with injury to the ventromedial hypothalamus begin to overeat.
