The ablation of the hypophysis does not disturb the basic waking-sleep cycle. Further, this intervention fails to modify the recovery of sleep after instrumental paradoxical sleep deprivation as well as after injection of 5-hydroxytryptophan in parachlorophenylalanine-pretreated insomniac cats. These results demonstrate that the hypophysis does not play a significant role in sleep mechanisms. We discuss these data in view of a possible regulation of the sleep-waking cycle by hypothalamo-hypophyseal hormones.

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.
