Abstract
Histological data including photographs of all sites were reported for an unusual laboratory species, the rock squirrel (Citellus variegatus) and an uncommon testing procedure, monophasic self-stimulation through bipolar electrodes. Principal findings were that effective self-stimulation sites frequently were near ineffective sites, and that a higher response rate was obtained more frequently for a lateral than for a medial cathode.
