Summary

The data presented in the present study suggest that neither the ascending noradrenergic fibres confined to the MFB nor the serotonergic fibres originating in or passing through the mesencephalic raphe are essential for periodicity in body temperature. Both control and experimental groups, i.e., rats subjected to medial forebrain bundle or raphe ablation presented circadian periodicity in body temperature and neither the phase, amplitude or overall mean of experimentals differed significantly from controls.
