Effect of castration on medial preoptic/anterior hypothalamic neurone responses to stimulation of the fimbria in the rat

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

1. Single unit extracellular recordings were made from medial preoptic/anterior hypothalamic neurones in response to electrical stimulation of the ipsilateral fimbria. The effects of castration on neuronal responses were investigated and the pathway of the fimbria input analysed using multiple stimulation and selective lesions. The percentage of responsive medial preoptic/anterior hypothalamic neurones which had connexions with the medial forebrain bundle was also investigated.
