Abstract
The medial wall of the cerebral cortex was explored in 12 cats with electrical stimulation, and galvanic skin responses (GSRs) were recorded as potential changes in all four foot pads. The region from which GSRs were most readily obtained includes the anterior limbic and the infralimbic areas of cortex, ahead of and beneath the rostrum of the corpus callosum. The results lend support to the concept that the anterior limbic region is particularly concerned with control of autonomic function.Keywords
