title: The posteromedial hypothalamus and pain, behavior, with special reference to endocrinological findings.
abstract: Stereotactic intervention into the posterior hypothalamus gives satisfactory results for controlling both aggressive, violent behavioral disorders and intractable pain. From the endocrinological point of view, this procedure activates the hypothalamic-hypophyseal axis only temporarily, without causing any serious dysfunctions.
