(1) We conclude that the taste reactivity changes induced by VMH lesions and ST transections are independent and additive indicating that VMH finickiness does not involve disruption of amygdalo-hypothalamic connections.
(2) The types were labeled: "finicky eaters," "health-conscious dieters," "diverse diners," and "high-calorie traditionalists."
(3) A hyperreactivity to the sensory qualities of a food, i.e., finickiness, is a defining feature of the ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) lesion syndrome.
(4) These results suggest roles for "finickiness" and vulnerability to mild stressors in the maintenance of eating disorders associated with stress and depression.
(5) In Experiment 1, exposure to unsignaled, inescapable shock resulted in finickiness about drinking a weak quinine solution, as previously reported.
(6) The most notable differences in eating behavior were that younger juveniles played with their food and were less finicky about what they ate.
(7) They could probably have got away with "quasi-psych" as well, if you want to be finicky.
(8) These projection fields proved functionally dissociable in that orbital frontal lesions impaired immediate postoperative regulation of food and water intake for up to 2 wk., while medial frontal lesions produced finickiness.
(9) The childhood eating disorder might take the form of failure to thrive, obesity, excessive finickiness, or, most commonly, vehement and protracted struggles between parent and child about eating.
(10) If the hunger-mimetic model is correct, a similar finicky pattern of increased eating should be observed both in hungry (food-deprived) rats and in benzodiazepine-treated, hyperphagic rats.
(11) It is, unmistakably, C-3PO , the finicky, worrywart droid whom Daniels has played in all six Star Wars films, and plays again in the latest instalment, The Force Awakens , which is due out in December.
(12) A salient feature of food deprivation (hunger) in laboratory animals is 'finicky' eating, or an enhanced reactivity to the palatability of food.
(13) While 5,7-DHT depleted brain 5-HT by 45%, it did not induce overeating and BW gain alone nor did it modify the overeating, obesity, or "finickiness" produced by hypothalamic injury.
(14) Scores were not related to gender or to finickiness.
(15) Experiment 2 revealed that bilateral parasagittal cuts and bilateral coronal cuts in the hypothalamus produce qualitatively similar effects on food intake, diurnal ingestive pattern, finickiness, and amphetamine anorexia.
(16) The "finicky eaters" favored only 8 foods and disliked 40.
(17) An increasing number of "farmbots" are being developed that are capable of finicky and complex tasks that have not been possible with the large-scale agricultural machinery of the past.
(18) In contrast, exposure to escapable shock resulted in marked individual differences in finickiness that were predicted by prestress body weight.
(19) Just as the sensory loss after lateral hypothalamic damage contributes to the aphagia and decreased aggressive behavior of such rats, it seems that increased responsiveness to sensory stimuli plays a role in the syndrome of hyperphagia, finickiness, and increased aggressiveness seen after medial hypothalamic damage.
(20) Extrahypothalamic lesions of central trigeminal structures produce a syndrome of aphagia, adipsia, finickiness, and food spillage.
