Abstract
Rats were trained to run in a wheel to avoid electric shock on a Sidman schedule. Lateral hypothalamic stimulation facilitated avoidance responding. The aftereffect of lateral hypothalamic stimulation was a depression of avoidance responding if the stimulation had mixed rewarding and aversive properties.
