A neuroscientist investigated the neural control of eating by lesioning the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) in laboratory rats, which led to hyperphagia (overeating) and extreme weight gain.
Explain one reason why it may be difficult to generalise these findings to explain human eating behaviour.
Practise AQA A Level Psychology Neural and hormonal control of eating with exam-style questions for A Level Psychology. 8 questions, matched to the AQA A Level Psychology (7182) specification and written in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
