[Responses of neurons of hypothalamic nuclei to stimulation of the frontobasal regions of the neocortex]. 1978

V N Kazakov, and P Ia Kravtsov

Neuronal responses of different hypothalamic nuclei to frontobasal cerebral cortex (proreal, posterior orbital, basal and temporal regions) were studied in acute experiments on cats narcotized by membutal mixed with chloraloze. Neurons which could be activated antidromically during stimulation of another region were recorded. On the basis of their response a number of neuronal chains (circles) functioning in forebrain was distinguished. The first chain is orbital gyrus--preoptical zone--proreal gyrus. The second chain has the same cortical components as the first one, but switching over in the hypothalamus takes place in the region of mamillary bodies. The third chain is basal temporal cortex--lateral hypothalamus--prefrontal cortex.

D007031	Hypothalamus	Ventral part of the DIENCEPHALON extending from the region of the OPTIC CHIASM to the caudal border of the MAMMILLARY BODIES and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the THIRD VENTRICLE.

D007033	Hypothalamus, Middle	Middle portion of the hypothalamus containing the arcuate, dorsomedial, ventromedial nuclei, the TUBER CINEREUM and the PITUITARY GLAND.

D007034	Hypothalamus, Posterior	The part of the hypothalamus posterior to the middle region consisting of several nuclei including the medial maxillary nucleus, lateral mammillary nucleus, and posterior hypothalamic nucleus (posterior hypothalamic area). The posterior hypothalamic area is concerned with control of sympathetic responses and is sensitive to conditions of decreasing temperature and controls the mechanisms for the conservation and increased production of heat.

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.

It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
