Abstract

The effects of an aggressive biting response on stress-induced noradrenaline (NA) release in the rat amygdala and gastric ulcer formation were studied with an intracerebral microdialysis technique. Rats were exposed to a 60-min period of cold restraint stress with or without being allowed to bite a wooden stick. They were sacrificed 100 min after release from stress to investigate gastric ulcer formation. Cold-restraint stress increased NA release to 304 +/- 22.3 and 206 +/- 23.8% of basal levels (mean +/- SEM) in the nonbiting and biting groups, respectively. The stress-induced increases in NA release in the nonbiting group were significantly higher than those in the biting group. In the nonbiting group, significant increases in NA release continued for 80 min after release from stress; however, NA levels in the biting group recovered to basal levels immediately after the cessation of stress. Although many severe gastric lesions with bleeding were found in the nonbiting group, fewer gastric lesions without bleeding were found in the biting group. The cumulative length of gastric lesions in the nonbiting group and in the biting group was 26.2 +/- 7.4 and 6.8 +/- 3.9 mm (mean +/- SEM), respectively. The mean number of ulcers in ...Continue Reading

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

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
