The role of the dorsal basal and the central nuclei of the amygdala under two modes of foot-shock analgesia was studied in 45 Möll-Wistar rats. Four minutes of continuous foot-shock produced post-stress analgesia in control and in all lesioned rats, but 20 min of regularly intermittent foot-shock did not evoke analgesia in rats with central nucleus lesion. This result indicates different involv...

In chronic experiments on rabbits it has been shown that destruction of dorsal amygdalofugal ways leads to full and persistent blockade of hippocampal theta-rhythm. To elucidate the causes irreversible changes in different areas of the hippocampus and the medial nucleus of septum morphological studies were carried out in neurons and glial cells of bazolateral (AB), central (AC), lateral (AL) an...

= Abstract = An immunocytochemical study on the pathways and distribution of extrahypothalamic projections of oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic neurons was performed. Monoclonal antibodies to oxytocin and vasopressin, avidin-blottn-peroxidase complex, vibratomy, and free floating methods were applied in the immunocytochemical procedure of the mouse brain. Oxytocinergic fibers arose from the pa...

gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory transmitter in the mammalian brain. This inhibition is mediated by type A (GABA(A)) receptors that are pentameric proteins assembled from 14 different subunits. Although inhibitory synaptic transmission has been studied in the amygdala, the subunit composition of receptors present at different synapses is not well understood. In this stud...
