ABSTRACT A REGION of the brain sensitive to temperature has been described as between the optic chiasma and the anterior commissure in the cat1. Direct heating of this region with diathermy


was shown to induce panting. In the goat, panting was found2 to continue for 1–2 min. after the end of 5 min. of electrical stimulation in the corresponding region of the brain, and to be


effective in lowering the temperature of the animal. Moderate heating of this region in the cat and the rabbit was also found3 to reduce gamma motor activity. The present experiments serve


to identify an efferent pathway from this temperature-sensitive region. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
