ABSTRACT
The experiments studied the modulation exerted by the septum and the caudate nucleus on hippocampal activity in the cat. Injections (i.v.) of sodium penicillin were performed in order to obtain a steady interictal epileptic activity. Hippocampal slow rhythmic activity showed a marked decrease either in duration or in frequency following penicillin activation. Both septal and caudate electrical stimulation inhibited spike frequency through a theta eliciting mechanism. Caudate stimulation failed to determine any sort of effect after medial septum lesions. The importance of the septum as modulation station between basal ganglia and hippocampus is emphasized.
