THE EFFERENT CONNECTIONS OF THE MAMMALIAN HYPOTHALAMUS.

Abstract

This thesis is concerned with the investigation of the efferent connections of the rostral part of the hypothalamus in three widely studied mammalian forms: the rat, the cat and the monkey. The studies were carried out using the recently developed physiological tracer techniques for central nervous system connections: the autoradiographic method and the horseradish peroxidase technique.
