[The participation of the amygdaloid complex in the conditioned reflex learning of dogs]
Abstract:
Electric stimulation (50 Hz) of baso-lateral amygdala aided to differentiated inhibition during stimulation of the same structure with the 5-Hz current. The rate od development of positive and inhibitory conditioning, its quantitative characteristics, the degree of differentiated inhibition in response to the amygdala stimulation were higher than in case of acoustic stimuli. The comparison of velocity and dynamics of the process of activation of two structures related to different levels of neural integration: the limbic and the striatal (caudate nucleus) ones, shows that the activation of neural elements of the limbic structure much faster acquires a signal significance than in case of the caudate nucleus.
