Lesions involving most of the septum caused in cats a reduction in drinking milk and eating cereal. Only the lesions involving a part of the posterior one-third of the septum increased consumption of milk and solid food. Changes of drinking behavior were usually more pronounced and permanent. In some cases the normal ratio of drunk fluids to solid food eaten was disturbed, that is either the amount of the consumed milk or cereal changed; in some animals these changes were more or less parallel. Increase or abolition of effects caused by lesions involving areas playing a similar or an opposite role in these functions were observed very often. This indicates how important it is in such investigations to produce precise lesions of strictly determined site and size.
涉及猫大部分隔膜的损伤导致其饮用牛奶和食用谷物量减少。只有涉及隔膜后三分之一部分的损伤会增加牛奶和固体食物的摄入量。饮水行为的变化通常更明显且持久。在某些情况下，饮用液体与所吃固体食物的正常比例受到干扰，即所消耗的牛奶或谷物量发生了变化；在一些动物中，这些变化或多或少是平行的。经常观察到涉及在这些功能中起相似或相反作用区域的损伤所产生的影响增强或消除。这表明在这类研究中产生严格确定部位和大小的精确损伤是多么重要。
