Extracellular single-unit recordings were made from neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) or zona incerta (ZI) of conscious sheep. A small population of neurons (12/83) were found which responded with increased firing rate when the animal looked at food but did not respond when the sheep looked a...
