title: [Perfusion of the hypothalamus in vitro and release of neurohormones].
abstract: A review is presented on the historical, practical and physiological aspects in the use of in vitro superfusion of the hypothalamus as a dynamic approach for studying the regulation of neurohormonal release. Advantages and possibilities brought about by the method are presented: sensibility, reproducibility and dynamic study of the pattern of neurohormone release, without a possible retroactive action of released substances on the perifused tissue.
