Suppression and disinhibition of instrumental alimentary reactions after successive lesions of the dorsomedial and lateral amygdala in dogs.
نویسنده
چکیده
Damage of the dorsomedial amygdala produced impairment of instrumental performance to CS(+) with no changes to CS(-). Subsequent lesion of the lateral amygdala resulted in restoration of instrumental performance to CS(+) and transient disinhibition to CS(-). These results support the hypothesis that the dorsomedial amygdala is involved in facilitation, while the lateral amygdala in inhibition of alimmentary reactions.

Amygdala functions within the alimentary system.
The amygdaloid complex plays an important role in various defensive, sexual and metabolic functions of the organism. Our previous experiments on the defensive functions demonstrated that the amygdala may be divided into dorsomedial excitatory and basolateral inhibitory parts. Our recent experiments showed that this division is true also for alimentary mechanisms. The dorsomedial part of the amy...
متن کاملSalivary reactions in dogs with dorsomedial amygdalar lesions.
In dogs with chronic parotid fistula, conditioned salivary reactions reinforced by food were established. After bilateral lesions of the dorsomedial part of the amygdaloid complex, the conditioned salivary reactions were greatly diminished. Also the unconditioned salivation decreased. This decrease was greater in dogs which revealed the whole syndrome of amygdalar aphagia, but it was also evide...
متن کاملInstrumental alimentary behavior in rats with small lesions in lateral amygdala and periamygdaloid cortex.
In the previous works (10, ll), it was shown that lesions of medial amygdala in rats produced transient aphagia and adipsia and more pronounced impairment of instrumental responses, in particular those reinforced by water. From the work of Fonberg on dogs (3, 5, 6) it is known that lesions of dorsomedial amygdala produced aphagia and impairment of instrumental performance, whereas lateral amygd...
متن کاملAlimentary instrumental responses and neurological reflexes in amygdalar cats.
Lesions in ventromedial part of amygdala impaired neither alimentary instrumental reflexes nor food intake, but impaired predatory behavior. Lesions localized in the more dorsal and lateral part of the amygdala produced disorders in instrumental performance and food intake without changes in predatory attack. Both kind of lesions did not impair neurological reflexes, therefore the abolishment o...
متن کاملMotivational role of social reinforcement in dog-man relations.
Lesions of dorsomedial amygdala (DMA) or lateral hypothalamus (LH) produced prominent impairment of the alimentary behavior in dogs. Besides, various behavioral responses, including social, were depressed. To evaluate whether these changes were either specific for alimentary disturbances or dependent on changes in the general reward system, another type of reward, i.e. social contact with exper...
