  • Title: Influence of preoptico-anterior and posterior hypothalamus on midline thalamic neurons.
    Author: Aleem A, Mohan Kumar V, Ahuja GK, Singh B.
    Journal: Brain Res Bull; 1986 Apr; 16(4):545-8. PubMed ID: 3719382.
    Abstract:
    The present study was aimed at understanding the influence of the posterior hypothalamus (PH) and the preoptico-anterior hypothalamus (PO-AH) on the neurons of the midline thalamus (MTh) in encéphale isolé cats. A majority of the influenced neurons of the MTh showed increased firing on stimulation of the PH. Although the number of neurons showing increased or decreased firing on PO-AH stimulation were nearly equal, stimulus bound increased firing in many neurons was followed by a prolonged decreased firing. It is likely that the hypothalamo-thalamic circuit constitutes a parallel pathway to the reticulo-thalamic circuit for alteration of the cortical EEG.
