In acute and chronic rostral cerveau isole cats (section at frontal plane 3 or 4) high-frequency stimulation of basal forebrain regions induced tonic ECoG [electrocorticogram] desynchronization with abrupt abolition of spindles, which always outlasted the period of stimulation. Exploration of the preoptic area showed that the maximal effect followed stimulation of regions immediately above the chiasma. High-frequency stimulation of the posterior hypothalamus induced ECoG activation similar in all respects to that after basal forebrain stimulation in both acute and chronic preparations. The most effective area was situated ventro-medially. Paralled to neocortical desynchronization, .theta. waves were induced in the dorsal hippocampus by both preoptic and hypothalamic activation. This effect disappeared after acute coagulation of septal nuclei. In acute cerveau isole preparations high-frequency stimulation of the ventral amygdala led to no significant change in the background synchronization. Stimulation of the dorsal amygdala induced phasic ECoG activation which did not outlast the stimulation period. Occasionally a tonic cortical arousal limited to the ipsilateral hemisphere could be seen following stimulation of dorsal nuclei. In no case did olfactory stimulation modify the ECoG synchronization. An absence of cortical activation was also found during high-frequency stimulation of intralaminar thalamic nuclei. Injection of barbiturate (from 2-20 mg/kg, i.v.) increased the spontaneous synchronization while it progressively shortened and eventually abolished the electrocortical activation induced by stimulation of the basal forebrain and the posterior hypothalamus. In preparations with transection of the brain-stem at a rostral level both the anterior (preoptic) and posterior hypothalamus may have a tonic desynchronizing influence on the cortex, which requires no support from the reticular activating system of the brain-stem. The control exerted by dorsal amygdala on the electrical activity of the cortex appeared instead to be mediated by the brainstem.
