Wake-sleep, thermoregulatory, and autonomic effects of cholinergic activation of the lateral hypothalamus in the rat: a pilot study.

In conclusion, the results of this work show that the arousal elicited by LH disinhibition by GABAzine is concomitant with autonomic responses set by the intervention of cold-defense mechanisms. Since the same response is elicited at a lower level by CBL administration, the hypothesis of an involvement of cholinoceptive ORX neurons in its generation is discussed.
