[Topography of stimulation sites with aversive effects in the rat's medial hypothalamus (author's transl)].
The intensity of the aversive effects induced by an electrical stimulation of various sites in the rat's medial hypothalamus was evaluated through analysing the relation between stimulation intensity and the induced switch-off responses. Series of "hot points" were found in both the ventro-medial and the dorso-medial nuclei. Stimulation sites with less marked aversive effects were found in a periventricular region.
