The dependence of glucose formation from lactate on the adenosine triphosphate content in the isolated perfused rat liver.

Bilateral intercollicular lesions in the chick abolish or depress notonly calling, but also those phases of behavior when calling would have been occurring. These include: long bouts of excited feeding immediately after food is made available;examining and pecking moving targets and novel objects; persistent scanning, and inhibitionof other behaviour in a novel environment. Deaf birds behave precisely like controls,so that possible auditory deficits are not involved. During calling phases significantvisual stimuli are treated as if they were startling or conspicuous. Conversely,continuousexamination of a stimulus causes calling to diminish or disappear even though responsecontinues; a brief period when the stimulus is not seen causes calling to begin againwhen it is once more perceived. In addition to the increased effectiveness of relevantvisual stimuli, motor facilitation is usual in calling phases, as is inhibition ofirrelevant responses.
