Abstract

The study on the structure of the hypothalamus of a Korean rabbit, weighing 1800gm was performed for the purpose of giving some convenience to using the stereotaxic apparatus. The frontal serial sections of the hypothalamus (15u) were studied histologiacally. In addition to the well known nuclei, the unnamed cell groups were found and named newly in the order of its appearance in the frontal serial sections. In order to show the distance from midplane and basal plane, both the nuclei and the cell groups were redrawn on the paper with scale.
