Functional Significance of Sympathetic Fiber Ingrowth in the Habenula
Description:
The physiological significance of noradrenergic sympathohabenular ingrowth following medial septal lesions was investigated. Following septal lesions, sympathetic fibers originating in the superior cervical ganglia are known to sprout into the medial habenular nuclei, and into the hippocampal formation. Previous work involving sympathohippocampal ingrowth showed that firing rates in septal animals with no ingrowth showed that firing rates in septal animals with no ingrowth were higher than rate…
