    Notes: Summary In anaesthetized cats, anterior and posterior hypothalamic areas were simultaneously superfused with artificial CSF using two push-pull cannulae. The rates of release of endogenous catecholamines were determined in the superfusates which were continuously collected in periods of 10 seconds. In both areas, the rate of release of dopamine was higher than the rates of release of noradrenaline and adrenaline. Electrical stimulation of the splanchnic nerve elicited a rise in the arterial blood pressure and increased the rates of release of noradrenaline, adrenaline and dopamine in the anterior hypothalamic area. The rates of release of the catecholamines in the posterior hypothalamic area were not influenced by the pressor response to stimulation of the splanchnic nerve. Transection of the brain caudal to the hypothalamus reduced the rates of release of the catecholamines in the anterior hypothalamus and abolished the releasing effect of the stimulation of the splanchnic nerve. The results indicate that acute rise in blood pressure activates catecholamine cell bodies in the lower brain stem, which in turn stimulate the anterior hypothalamus to counteract the pressor response.

    Notes: Summary To investigate the patterns of catecholamine release in the brain, the hypothalamus of conscious, freely moving rats was superfused through a push-pull cannula with artificial cerebrospinal fluid and the catecholamines dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline were determined in the superfusate radioenzymatically. Superfusate was continuously collected in time periods of 20 min for at least 20h. Dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline release rates fluctuated according to an ultradian rhythm with a frequency of 1 cycle/92 min (dopamine and noradrenaline) or 99 min (adrenaline). Additionally, the three catecholamines were released according to an ultradian rhythm with the following frequencies: noradrenaline and adrenaline 1 cycle/ 12 h, dopamine 1 cycle/8 h. The release rates of dopamine and adrenaline were similar during light and dark periods, while the release rate of noradrenaline in the dark period was slightly lower than that during the light period. It is concluded that in the hypothalamus of the conscious rat the release rates of dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline fluctuate according to two ultradian rhythms with different frequencies.
