[Effects of stimulation of the substantia nigra on the rage reaction evoked in the cat by hypothalamic stimulation].
The effects of substantia nigra stimulation on the rage reaction evoked by hypothalamic activation were studied. The reference value of the rage reaction was the latency of the hissing, which was constant in all animals when hypothalamic stimulation was performed with the same parameters. Simultaneous activation of substantia nigra and hypothalamus determined a significant decrease of the hissing latency. The influence of the substantia nigra on the affective components of the aggressive behaviour in underlined.
