Abstract
DURING recent years the interaction of neural and endocrine factors in the initiation of mammary secretion in different species of animals is being increasingly recognized, and it has been shown that electrical stimulation of the uterine cervix of œstrogen-primed virgin female rats can initiate mammary secretion1. In the present experiments, attempts were made to determine whether electrical stimulation of other areas would similarly result in mammary secretion.
