neurons leading to the organ where the effect being studied occurs. What is the purpose of cutting these neurons?
A) to make sure that the effect is not occurring through actions in the nervous system
B) to make sure that the organ being affected cannot function unless the researchers stimulate it with an external electrical probe

So, to check the effect of hormone they should cut the neurons to make sure these effect are not due to actions of nervous system.
