[Electrophysiologic study of the hypothalamo-thalamic connections in the rat].

In acute experiments on rats, studies have been made of the pattern and peculiarities of the evoked potentials in different thalamic nuclei. It was found that most short-latent high amplitude evoked potentials during stimulation of the posterior hypothalamus are recorded in the antero-ventral and medio-dorsal thalamic nuclei. In the posterior lateral nucleus, under the conditions employed, no evoked potentials were observed.
