Abstract

Changes occurring ovarian folliculogenesis as a result of stimulation and destruction of the cortico-medial part of the amygdala, as well as the effect of choriogonadotropine on the background of these changes were studied in 80 infantile female rats. The stimulation and destruction of the cortico-medial part of the amygdala were stated to stimulate production of larger ovarian follicles and also to affect the changes produced by administration of choriogonadotropine.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes
