Effects of Morphine Sulphate on Hypothalamus of the Gat

Abstract

Conclusion

In the cat, the local injection of from 1 to 10 mg of morphine sulphate in Locke's solution or the intraperitoneal administration of from 30 to 100 mg of the drug does not affect the reactivity of either the cruciate cortex or the hypothalamus to faradic stimulation, except that in animals which receive more than 60 mg intraperitoneally the hypothalamic responses are limited to the duration of the stimulus.
