Abstract
A long-held view that the brain was composed of centers that rigidly subserved one function has gradually been eroded by the demonstration of the numerous supplementary motor patterns. Therefore, it was not with any great surprise that we evoked motor responses from the region of the precommissural septum and tuberculum olfactorium of Macaca mulatta. During the course of further experimentation, it became apparent that there was a pattern of motor behavior elicitable by stimulation of the septotubercular area (Fig. 1), and that these responses were contralateral and appeared to be associated with disagreeable behavior.
