Dorsal hippocampal lesions in adult female rats leads to alteration in the estrus cycle with preponderance of estrus phase. The activity of the animals after the lesion increases, but it remains coupled with post lesion estrus cycle.

Stress can alter the functional status of the animal through a chain of complex interactions. In this work, influence of stress on oxygen consumption and rectal temperature was studied in parabiotic albino rats, to show the possibility of involvement of humoral factors. Stress has resulted in fall in rectal temperature and increase or decrease in oxygen consumption even when one animal of the pair was subjected to stress, suggesting involvement of humoral factor(s).

From the conduction studies of ulnar nerve on normal individuals of different age groups and sexes the residual latencies were determined. The age has no influence on the residual latency. But the values of residual latency decreased significantly in the case of females as compared with males.

The present experiment was planned to assess the role of vagus and adrenals in gastric secretion in the pylorus ligated rats. Vagotomy significantly reduced the volume of gastric juice but the reduction following adrenalectomy was not significant. Both vagotomy and adrenalectomy significantly reduced the free acid, total acid and pepsin contents of the gastric secretion, the reduction being more pronounced following vagotomy.
