[Dynamics of hormone secretion during chronic emotional stress]. / Dinamika sekretsii nekotorykh gormonov pri khronicheskom émotsional'nom napriazhenii.

Study of spontaneous secretion of corticosteroids and thyroid hormones and the direct hormonal response to stress revealed the pathogenic effect of chronic combined emotional stress upon the hormonal function of adrenal glands. The hippocampus takes part in formation of the emotional tension in response to stress stimulus and of the following hormonal secretion.

[The role of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus in thyroid hormone secretion during defensive conditioned reflex activity]. / Rol' zadnego gipotalamicheskogo iadra v sekretsii tireoidnykh gormonov pri oboronitel'noi uslovnoreflektornoi deiatel'nosti

In chronic experiments on adult rabbits, the EEG revealed participation of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus and mediobasal hypothalamus in conditioned avoidance response. Secretion of the thyroid hormone was increased during the response in intact dogs. This reaction of the thyroid gland was maintained for several months. After coagulation of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus the reaction disappeared. This suggests a triggering role of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus in secretion of the thyroid hormone during the avoidance response.
