Cortical and Hypothalamo-Limbic Control of Electrodermal Responses

  • Chapter
Progress in Electrodermal Research

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 249))

Abstract

Hughlings (1869) was among the first authors to report cortical influences upon the autonomic nervous system. Following Jackson’s studies, cardiovascular changes were elicited by stimulation of the frontal cortex (Danilewsky, 1875; Bochefontaine, 1876). At the beginning of this century, some authors (Bechterew, 1905; Karplus and Kreidl, 1909) also obtained an increase of sweating in the foot-pads of the cat, evoked by stimulating the sensorimotor cortex. During the next decades, other reports approached the role of cortical areas in the regulation of autonomic responses (see reviews of Kaada, 1951; Delgado, 1960; Hoff et al., 1963).
