Periventricular structures and the organization of affective states and their behavioural expression.
This paper reviews briefly a series of electrophysiological, neurochemical, and behavioural studies concerning the role by periventricular structures (periaqueductal gray and medial hypothalamus) in the generation of aversive affective states and in the organization of overt escape behaviours.
