hypothalamus; reward center

When experimenting with a rat in McGill University, they realized that they had misplaced the electrode in the rat's brain. Such rat kept pressing the lever so it would discharge such electrodes, up to 2000 times a day, and this is when they realized something else was going on inside the rat's brain.
