Functional interrelationships of the structures of the limbic system during initiation of seizure activity

Neir̆ofiziologiia = Neurophysiology
V D Karamyshev

Abstract

A functional epileptogenic focus was created by repeated electrical stimulation of the limbic structures activated by the conditioned sensory stimulus. Seizure activity in response to the conditioned stimulus was observed only in the hippocampus though other limbic structures were also stimulated. After bilateral electrolytic lesion of the septum no highly synchronized seizure activity was observed in response to the conditioned signal. In this case spontaneous high amplitude activity was found. These observations permit suggesting that the hippocampus plays the role of an initiator of the seizure activity, whereas the functional connection between the septum and hippocampus promotes its final synchronization.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.

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.

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.
