Unit activity of the medial wall of the frontal cortex was studied dur
ing spatial delayed performance in rats. Significant modifications of
the neuronal activity were observed after the change of motivation. Di
rect neuronal projections from hypothalamic nuclei to the medial wall
of the frontal cortex were revealed by horseradish peroxidase techniqu
e. The role of hypothalamo-cortical interaction in organization of mot
ivational and emotional components of behaviour is discussed.
