ABSTRACT
Hemidecortication (HD) (left cerebral hemisphere) performed in rats with the aim of analyzing the modulating effect of the cerebral cortex on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Corticosterone release induced either by or immobilization stress was evaluated in control (C) and HD rats. The percentage increase in corticosterone was greater in HD than in C rats after 15 min of ether stress (HD = 142%, C = 50%) and after 60 min of immobilization stress (HD = 197%, C = 126%). An in vitro test showed that the release of ACTH induced by corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) from hemipituitary fragments from HD rats was not different from that in control rats. These results suggest an inhibitory effect of the cerebral cortex on the hypothalamus which may modulate the secretion of corticoptropin releasing peptides
