37 Citations1935Charles Davison
The extensive anatomic and physiologic investigations of the hypophysis and of the nuclear masses of the hypothalamic region in cases of polyuria, polydipsia, adiposity and genital dystrophy are fairly conclusive and seem to indicate that the nuclei in the walls of the third ventricle are concerned with heat regulation.

Stimulation (Karplus and Kreidl12) demonstrated an orthosympathetic center in the hypothalamus and compared the behavior of hypothalamic cats, with the cortex and thalamus removed, and that of decerebrate cats in which the hypothalamic region in addition had been removed and showed thatThe hypothalamus is a center for manifestation of the emotions, particularly rage.

The authors have been impressed by the similarity between the symptoms reported to be due to bulbocapnine and certain cataleptic phenomena observed in this laboratory as the result of the production of lesions in the upper part of the midbrain in cats.

17 Citations1941Hannah Carlson
There has been much controversy as to the distribution of function of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in the forebrain, particularly in the hypothalamus, but Ranson and his associates have obtained sympathetic effects throughout the hypothalamic region, including the tuber cinereum, as far forward as the optic chiasm.

The results of a series of experiments designed to investigate the effect of pentamethylenetetrazol (metrazol), when injected either intravenously or directly into the diencephalon, on the functions of the hypothalamus and on its responses to faradic stimulation in anesthetized and in recovery preparations are presented.

12 Citations1940Roy R. Grinker, Helen V. McLean
The avidity of interest aroused and the rapidity with which the use of insulin and metrazol treatments spread into every corner of this country from university clinics to state hospitals attest a certain preparedness and eagerness of the rank and file of psychiatrists for an organic approach to their problems.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryTHE `PATH' THEORY OF CORTICAL FUNCTION
3 Citations1931W. Ross Ashby
The path theory, which states, roughly, that the fiunctions of the central nervous system are controlled by chains of neurons laid down as a path so as to conduct the impulse to its appropriate end-organ, is beginning to become apparent that the theory is in need of a thorou1gh overhaul.
