Summary
Prolonged unilateral electrical hypothalamic stimulation applied to albino rats prolonged the period of estrus, intensified hypophyseal gonadotropic activity, and induced structural ovarian changes. The ovaries showed structural asymmetry. The contribution of nervous conduction from the hypothalamus is discussed in relation to negative feedback between the hypophysis and ovaries.
