TL;DR: The hypothesis that nerve cells are true secreting cells, and act upon one other and upon the cells of other organs by the passage of a chemical substance of the nature of a ferment or proferment from the first cell to the second is formed.

TL;DR: Results provide further evidence that, in addition to their inhibitory effects within the posterior pituitary, opiates can directly suppress the electrical activity of magnocellular neurosecretory cells at the level of the hypothalamus.

TL;DR: A population of limbic neurones in the bed nuclei of the stria terminalis and ventrolateral septum, which have been shown to possess oxytocin receptors, participates in the regulation of neuroendocrine activity during lactation by providing an appropriate degree of feedback to alter the patterning of the milk‐ejection reflex.

TL;DR: The activity of suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons showed a significant correlation between spontaneous activity and the light-dark cycle, with activity decreasing during the subjective dark phase, consistent with the presence of an endogenous excitatory vasopressin tone.

TL;DR: Testing ventrolateral part of the lateral septum-bed nuclei of the stria terminalis neurons as a putative link of the neuronal network controlling the bursting activity of oxytocin neurons in suckled lactating rats found five neurons exhibited the type I firing pattern and five of eight neurons recorded during milk-ejection reflex displayed the type II firing pattern.
