[Effect of the orbital-frontal cortex on several autonomic functions]. 1979

R F Makul'kin, and N E Okhtishkin, and D N Tychina

It is not only the cortex of orbito-insular complex ("vagal" zone) but also the proreal cortex (frontal zone) which take part in regulation of respiration, blood pressure, rhythmical heart activity. Cortico-fugal impulses spread along two tracts from the proreal gyrus: to the trunk vegetative centers directly and indirectly -- through the orbital gyrus. The experiments with combined destruction of main efferent tracts of the orbito--frontal cortex showed the forebrain medial bundle to be the principal morphological tract of the orbito-frontal cortex projecting to the trunk vegetative centers.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
