“…From previous anatomical and physiological experiments [Johnson, 1965;Nauta, 1956Nauta, , 1958Powell and Cowan, 1955;Raisman, Cowan, and Powell, 1966;Siegel and Flynn, 1968;Valenstein and Nauta, 1959;Votaw, 1960] it is reasonable to conclude that var ious regions of the hippocampus could modulate hypothalamic response mechanisms directly. The present experiment also demonstrates direct connections from dorsal and ventral hippocampus to the lateral hypo thalamus and, thus, would seemingly support this view.…”
