Context

  • Animal study in cat and monkey that demonstrated drops in blood pressure (BP) with stimulation of amygdala, hippocampus and other limbic regions. Stimulation of the temporal pole showed a fall in BP in monkeys, a rise in cats. Heart rate also increased or decreased with variable areas of stimulation. Respiratory changes occurred in a subset of animals and were complex. The authors compare their findings with those obtained in a number of related studies beginning with Spencer.
