Electrophysiology of hypothalamic magnocellular neurones secreting oxytocin and vasopressin

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.

Glucose and Osmosensitive Neurones of the Rat Hypothalamus

TL;DR: The direct effects of glucose on individual cells of the VMH and LH are studied by means of electro-osmotic applications of glucose from micropipettes—the method used by Krnjević and Whittaker in other regions in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging concepts of structure-function dynamics in adult brain: the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system.

TL;DR: Progress in developing an ever more complete structural and functional picture of this system has been closely tied to advancements in technology, specifically in the areas of radioimmunoassay, immunocytochemistry, anatomical tracing methods at the light and electron microscopic levels, and sophisticated preparations for electrophysiological investigation.

Croonian Lecture: The Antidiuretic Hormone and the Factors which Determine Its Release

TL;DR: Water diuresis is fitly and accurately described as a condition of physiological diabetes insipidus, the antidiuretic secretion of the neuro-hypophysis being a hormone in the sense that its liberation is continually governed by the concentration of sodium chloride, and of other osmotically active substances, in the arterial plasma.

A Simple Microelectrode for recording from the Central Nervous System

TL;DR: Steel electrodes, which have the advantages of low noise, low electrode potential, ease of straightening and, in particular, offer the possibility of accurate localization of the recording site, may be made.
