Summary
The effect of electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus on the secretory function of the stomach was studied in long-term experiments on dogs. It was revealed that stimulation of the anterior part of the hypothalamus during the period when there is no digestion causes secretion of large quantities of gastric juice with high acidity and digestive power. Stimulation of the hypothalamus with the level of the posterior edge of the infundibulum of the hypophysis gives a negligible increase of mucus secretion without the rise of acidity or of the digestive power.
