The first part of this paper is an attempt to sketch an outline of the anatomy of the dorsal diencephalic conduction system by reviewing experimental evidence establishing the afferent and efferent connections of the habenular complex. This system provides an alternative to the descending medial forebrain bundle for the conduction of information from the limbic forebrain to limbic midbrain areas. The second part is a critical examination of experiments using ablation or electrical and chemical stimulation techniques which are concerned with the behavioural functions of the habenular complex. The habenula has been shown to play an important role in a diverse set of behavioural systems, which include olfaction, ingestion, mating, endocrine function, aversive motivation, and brain stimulation. Anatomical and behavioural support is presented for the view that the dorsal diencephalic conduction system provides an opportunity for interaction of activity in motivational systems with movement systems in the striatum and midbrain.
本文的第一部分试图通过回顾确立缰核复合体传入和传出连接的实验证据，勾勒出背侧间脑传导系统的解剖学轮廓。该系统为从边缘前脑向边缘中脑区域传导信息提供了一种替代内侧前脑束下行的途径。第二部分是对使用损毁、电刺激和化学刺激技术进行的实验的批判性审视，这些实验涉及缰核复合体的行为功能。缰核已被证明在多种行为系统中发挥重要作用，包括嗅觉、摄食、交配、内分泌功能、厌恶动机和脑刺激。文中提出了解剖学和行为学方面的支持证据，证明背侧间脑传导系统为动机系统的活动与纹状体和中脑的运动系统之间的相互作用提供了机会。
