Heart rate: differential effects of hypothalamic and septal self-stimulation.
Heart rate in rats was recorded during self-stimulation with electrodes permanently implanted in both the hypothalamus and the septal region. Acceleration was observed during stimulation of the hypothalamus, and deceleration during stimulation of the septal region. In both areas self-stimulation reduced variability in heart rate.
