[14 C]2-Deoxyglucose uptake marks systems activated by rewarding brain stimulation. 1977

C R Gallistel, and G A Karreman, and M Reivich

Autoradiography of sections from the brains of anesthetized rats injected with [14C] 2-doexyglucose revealed neural systems unilaterally activated by rewarding electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle. Since this new technique marks neural systems on the basis of their activity, it has great potential in functional neuroanatomy. The potential is easily realized in brain-stimulation studies, where systems may be driven to exceptionally high levels of activity.

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.

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.

D008297	Male		Males
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
