TLDR
The basal hypothalamus serves as a primary control region for a multitude of visceral regulatory mechanisms essential for the organism, such as the regulation of temperature, feeding behavior, cardiovascular function, and many forms of emotion.Abstract:
The basal hypothalamus serves as a primary control region for a multitude of visceral regulatory mechanisms essential for the organism, such as the regulation of temperature (Hammel, 1968), feeding behavior (Stevenson, 1969), cardiovascular function (Zanchetti, 1970), and many forms of emotion (Kaada, 1967). In addition, as a consequence of its intimate relationship with the pituitary, and of the arrangement of the vascular system in the infundibular region, the tuberal hypothalamus has the unique role of being a neuroendocrine organ; this field has been reviewed extensively (McCann et al., 1968; Beyer and Sawyer, 1969; Martini et al., 1970).read more

Amygdaloid projections to subcortical structures within the basal forebrain and brainstem in the rat and cat
J. E. Krettek,Joseph L. Price +1 more
TL;DR: The efferent fiber connections of the nuclei of the amygdaloid complex with subcortical structures in the basal telencephalon, hypothalamus, midbrain, and pons have been studied in the rat and cat, using the autoradiographic method for tracing axonal connections.

Cortical pathways to the mammalian amygdala
TL;DR: There is anatomical evidence which suggests that there are important differences in the extent of convergence of cortical projections in the primate versus the nonprimate amygdala.

Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors are widely distributed within the rat central nervous system: an autoradiographic study
TL;DR: High affinity and pharmacologically specific receptor- binding sites for CRF were found in discrete areas within the rat CNS, and data strongly support a physiological role for endogenous CRF in regulating and integrating functions in the CNS.

Autoradiographic localization of cholecystokinin receptors in rodent brain
TL;DR: The results are discussed in terms of physiological functions associated with CCK, presynaptic receptors, and axonal flow of CCK receptors in the guinea pig and rat central nervous system.

Anatomical correlates of electrical and behavioral events related to amygdaloid kindling
TL;DR: It is suggested that three discrete anatomical systems underlie the generation of partial seizures, generalized motor seizures, and local afterdischarge in rats.

Two methods for selective silver impregnation of degenerating axons and their synaptic endings in the central nervous system.
Robert P. Fink,Lennart Heimer +1 more
TL;DR: The original, non-suppressive Natua method for impregenation of terminal degeneration has been modified by the introduction of a potassium permanganate-uranyl nitrate sequence, resulting in a selective impregnation of degenarated axons inclusive of their synaptic thickenings.
