Telemetered Recording of Hormone Effects on Hippocampal Neurons

Donald W. Pfaff 1, M. Teresa A. Silva 1, and Jay M. Weiss 1

1 Rockefeller University, New York 10021

Frequency-modulated telemetry was used to record the effects of hormones on single-unit activity in the brains of freely moving rats. Corticosterone decreased unit activity in the dorsal hippocampus. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone had the opposite effect.
