Afferent projections related to attack sites in the ventral midbrain tegmentum of the cat

WM Schoel, CA Opsahl, JP Flynn - Brain Research, 1981 - Elsevier
Quiet attack was elicited by electrical stimulation of the ventrolateral midbrain tegmentum of
the cat. The paw was not used other than to position or hold the rat during the bite. Bites …

Defense reaction elicited by microinjection of kainic acid into the medial hypothalamus of the rat: antagonism by a GABAA receptor agonist

MCL Silveira, FG Graeff - Behavioral and neural biology, 1992 - Elsevier
Electrical stimulation of either the midbrain central gray or the medial hypothalamus induces
a defense reaction in the rat, characterized mainly by increased locomotion, rearing, and …

Actions of amino acids and convulsants on bulbar reticular neurones

L Hösli, AK Tebēcis - Experimental Brain Research, 1970 - Springer
A study has been made of the actions of microelectrophoretically administered amino acids
and convulsants on spontaneous and glutamate-(or DLH-) induced firing of bulbar reticular …

A reinvestigation of the analgesic effects induced by stimulation of the periaqueductal gray matter in the rat. I. The production of behavioral side effects together with …

V Fardin, JL Oliveras, JM Besson - Brain research, 1984 - Elsevier
It has been shown that stimulation-produced-analgesia (SPA) in the cat elicited from the
periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) is obtained from sites located in the ventral part …

Presence of GABA-immunoreactive neurons within intracortical patches in area 18 of the cat

JA Matsubara, JD Boyd - Brain research, 1992 - Elsevier
In cat visual cortex, horizontal, intracortical connections spread laterally to link together
specific columnar sites. When visualized by retrograde tracers, these intracortical …

Integration of somatic and autonomic reactions within the midbrain periaqueductal grey: viscerotopic, somatotopic and functional organization

R Bandler, P Carrive, SP Zhang - Progress in brain research, 1991 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary Considerable evidence suggests that the cell dense region surrounding
the midbrain aqueduct, the midbrain periaqueductal gray region (PAG), is a crucial neural …

Blockade by amino acid antagonists of neuronal excitation mediated by the pyramidal tract.

TW Stone - The Journal of Physiology, 1976 - Wiley Online Library
1. The responses to glutamate and amino acid antagonists of cells in the cuneate nucleus of
anaesthetized rats have been examined. 2. 1‐hydroxy‐3‐amino‐pyrrolidone‐2 (HA‐966) …

Predatory aggression: Midbrain‐pontine junction rather than hypothalamus as the critical structure?

R Bandler Jr - Aggressive Behavior, 1975 - Wiley Online Library
Electrical stimulation of sites in the region of the ventromedial periaqueductal gray
substance at the level of the midbrain–pontine junction was found to elicit a predatory attack …

An enkephalinergic mechanism involved in amygdaloid suppression of affective defence behavior elicited from the midbrain periaqueductal gray in the cat

MB Shaikh, CL Lu, A Siegel - Brain research, 1991 - Elsevier
A series of recent studies in our laboratory have provided evidence that opioid peptides
powerfully suppress feline affective defense behavior at the level of the midbrain …

Facilitation of attack behavior by stimulation of the midbrain of cats

MH Sheard, JP Flynn - Brain Research, 1967 - Elsevier
Electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus in cats gave rise to directed attacks on an
anesthetized rat. This electrically initiated attack was facilitated by concurrent stimulation of …
