bilateral

Examples of bilateral in the following topics:

• The Endocrine System and Hunger

  • This theory developed from the findings that bilateral lesions of the lateral hypothalamus can cause anorexia, a severely diminished appetite for food, while bilateral lesions on the ventromedial hypothalamus can cause overeating and obesity.

• Body-Oriented Psychotherapies

  • The therapy uses an eight-phase approach that includes having the patient recall distressing images while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements.
