Abstract Changes in cortical and subcortical electrical activity during hypo- and hypertensive vascular responses to electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus were investigated before and after injection of the monoamine oxidase inhibitor vetrazin, in experiments on rabbits anesthetized with urethane. Vetrazin completely blocked the hypertensive response and its electroencephalographic manifestation but had no effect on hypotensive hypothalamic responses. The results are interpreted from the standpoint of differences in the neurochemical mechanisms of hypothalamic pressor and depressor responses.
