Abstract
Electrical stimulation at 21 sites in the brain stem of 5 cats under light barbiturate anesthesia caused tremor having the characteristics of natural shivering. The positive stimulation sites lay within the lesion-determined "shivering pathway" in the midbrain and pons. The positive hypothalamic stimulation site was located in the medial part of the tuberal hypothalamus between the mammillothalamic tract and the fornix.Keywords
