Sire, do you think I would feed her back at the mews, if I knew she d had so much in the field Wat has taught me better than that No, I know you would not. But she s wild, don t forget. She s not a dog, or a man. You cannot teach her loyalty. She has none, and she s no use for yours. You are not her liege lord, nor she your servant to command. She will not work for you now in the hope or certainty of favors or protection later. All she knows is that today she was hungry, and we helped her to her food. Tomorrow Who knows ...

Robin feeding young Like most songbirds, robins capture countless insects and invertebrates to feed to their hungry offspring during the nesting season. 

Based on the findings that 2,3,7,8-TCDD administered into the lateral cerebral ventricles does not cause death or decreased feed intake in rats (Stahl and Rozman 1990), Rozman et al. (1991) examined the possibility that 2,3,7,8-TCDD suppresses appetite via peripheral mechanisms acting on the central nervous system. The results of experiments of transfusion of blood from rats with 2,3,7,8-TCDD-induced appetite suppression and normal satiated rats suggested that 2,3,7,8-TCDD-treated rats are not satiated, rather than that they are not hungry. In a second experimental series, the possible role of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin as central mediators of appetite suppression induced by...

Before administration of the drug the animals should have an empty stomach but not go hungry, so that the food is withdrawn S-A h before the administration in the morning (for instance achieved by a timer-controled unit withdrawing the food). The feed (commercial pelleted diet, for instance Ssniff Spezialdiaten GmbH D-59494 Soest, Deutschland) and tap water is provided ad libitum. 

If insects have no choice or if they are very hungry, the deterrency threshold value is much reduced, and they often feed on a diet with alkaloids that they would normally avoid 15,32). In this case we have the chance to test the toxicity of an ingested alkaloid. If insects do not take up alkaloid-containing food, alkaloid toxicity can be assessed to some degree by topical application or by injection (Table I). 

Figure 3.15 shows the striking difference in the intensity of orienting-searching reflex activity of hungry rats in surroundings quite new to them as a function of time elapsed from last feed. Rats in their uphill period of life... 

The radial maze consists of eight dead-end arms arranged like spokes around a central chamber (Fig. 6a). The spatial memory and foraging behavior of the animal can be studied after it has been released in the maze. In one variant, hungry rats are presented with one food pellet at the end of each arm and given a limited time to feed. Parameters typically recorded include number of arms repeatedly visited, or omitted, and time to complete the maze. Rats with impaired short-term memory function will do poorly in this maze.
