Electrophysiological Methods for Studying Endocrine Cells and Neuronal Activity from the Hypothalamo-hypophyseal System
The hypothalamo-hypophyseal system brings nerve and endocrine cells together in one anatomical entity such that the nervous system and the glandular cells of the anterior hypophysis communicate. The two struct...

Release of oxytocin within the supraoptic nucleus during the milk ejection reflex in rats
To investigate the hypothesis that oxytocin may be released within the magnocellular nuclei in vivo, push-pull cannula perfusions were performed in anaesthetized lactating rats in one supraoptic nucleus of the...

Neuronal-Glial and Synaptic Plasticity in the Adult Oxytocinergic System
The magnocellular neurones that secrete oxytocin occur in the same hypothalamic regions in which one also finds the neurones secreting vasopressin (mainly the supraoptic (NSO) and paraventricular nuclei (PVN))...

Effects of Estrogens on the Electrophysiological Properties of Neurons and Adenohypophyseal Cells: Interactions with Dopamine
Apart from their classical action through the genetic protein synthesizing system, estrogens have been shown to influence the electrophysiological properties of both neuronal (Dufy et al., 1976; Moss & Dudley,...

Effects of intracerebroventricular injections of angiotensin II on prolactin plasma levels in the Rhesus monkey
Intracerebroventricular injections of angiotensin II (A II) induced a sharp and dose-dependent increase in plasma prolactin (PRL) levels in the awake Rhesus monkey. Our results suggest that in primates, A II m...

Steroids and Membrane-Associated Events in Neurons and Pituitary Cells
Classically we are accustomed to differentiating between the mechanisms of action of sex steroids on one hand, and those of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters on the other. Peptide hormones were shown to f...

Article
Electrophysiological evidence for connections between septal neurones and the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus of the rat
In order to see whether septal neurones are connected to the hypothalamic neurones secreting vasopressin or oxytocin, neurones in different regions of the septum were recorded during electrical stimulation of ...

Chapter
Intracellular Recordings from Prolactin-Secreting Pituitary Cells in Culture: Evidence for a Direct Action of Estrogen on the Cell Membrane
The effects of sex steroids on the central nervous system are commonly explained according to the general scheme of steroid hormone action involving the nucleus following binding to a cytoplasmic receptor and ...

Chapter
Effects of sex steroids on cell membrane excitability: a new concept for the action of steroids on the brain
The functions of the brain depend largely upon the complex interactions of nervous and hormonal factors. Indeed, it is gradually emerging that the only way to account for brain mechanisms which have a physiolo...

Demonstration of indolaminergic fibres in the median eminence of the duck, rat and monkey
MANY reports provide physiological evidence that monoaminergic (catecholaminergic and serotonergic) systems are involved in the control of the secretion of the hypothalamic hormones (releasing factors) at the ...

Influence de la lumière sur le comportement et sur la fonction ovarienne chez le Lapin
When a mature female rabbit of fawn Burgundy strain is placed permanently in an observation cage, and is exposed to light from a fluorescent tube (264 μW/cm2/sec.) for 14 hours and kept in darkness for 10 hours, ...

Effects of vaginal stimulation on hypothalamic single units in unanesthetized rabbits
Certains neurones hypothalamiques présentent dans la demi-heure qui suit une stimulation vaginale des modifications de leur décharge spontanée indépendantes de l'état de vigilance de l'animal. Ces variations p...
