[Neurophysiologic study of the influence of the habenula on the hippocampus: electroencephalographic aspects].
The habenula, an epithalamic structure considered as a part of the limbic system, is able to control interictal activity of the hippocampus. Its influence seems to be facilitatory and to have the raphé as a relay station. Habenular action might putatively be ascribed to activation of the serotonergic system.
