Action of Metrazol Pentamethylenetetrazol) on the Hypothalamus of the Cat

A second review of 16-millimeter films in psychology and allied sciences.

“…The first film shows that the drug increases hypothalamic reactivity as evidenced by profuse salivation, alternating periods of wailing and panting, dilated pupils, extruded claws, a lashing tail, and a frenzied darting about the cage. The injection of a solution of metrazol into the hypothalamus induces a syndrome of sympathetic and motor reactions resembling a frenzy of rage and fear (190). Further experiments demonstrate that subintoxicant doses of alcohol have a mildly stimulating effect on both the cortex and the hypothalamus (199).…”
