title: Hypothalamic connections of the insular cortex in the cat.
abstract: We have investigated the anatomical organization of the connections between the hypothalamus and the insular cortex of the cat by using retrograde and anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase-wheat germ agglutinin. The rostroventral sectors of the insular cortex are strongly interconnected with the supramammillary and caudal lateral hypothalamic areas. The possible relationship of these connections with the well-known participation of the insular cortex in visceral and autonomic integration is discussed.
