Extracellular recording of unit activity in the hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus performed in anesthetized and immobilized cats revealed the convergence of impulses of different modality on these neurons: induced by somatic, visceral and sound stimuli. The capacity of hypothalamic neurons (32%) to converge influences was increased after i.v. administration of 10 ml of 20% glucose solution. The firing rate was increased in 19% cases and the phase of the reaction was reversed in 23% neurons. The main type of the responses involved excitation in all the cells under study.
在麻醉并固定的猫身上进行的下丘脑腹内侧核单位活动的细胞外记录显示，不同模态的冲动汇聚于这些神经元：由躯体、内脏和声音刺激诱发。静脉注射10毫升20%葡萄糖溶液后，下丘脑神经元汇聚影响的能力（32%）增强。19%的情况下放电率增加，23%的神经元反应相位反转。所有研究细胞的主要反应类型为兴奋。
