The figure shows appearance of 17-hydroxy-progesteronc following repeated stimulation (15 minutes daily for 5-6 days) of medial part of amygdale-pyriform cortex. Stimulation of lateral areas elicited only marked ele^'ation of resting corticoid secretion without the appearance of new secretory product or sexual hyperactivity. Step-like changes in the behaviour of animals were observed tiuring the stimulation of the above-mentioned structures as a consequence of rising intensity of stimuli. Marked orientation cliciteci by threshold stimuli was followed by emotional reactions (fear, avoiciing-reaction), and further elevation of stimulus mtensity induced extreme furious behaviour (O, 5-5, O V, 60-90 H, 3 msec). After cessation of stimulation the original behaviour returned without Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences; Fessard, A.
