Relationship between rhythmic discharge patterns of neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala, blood pressure fluctuations and cortical activity

Abstract

In the discharge sequences recorded from single neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala of chronically instrumented awake cats, rhythmical patterns with period durations of 5-12 s were observed. At the same time blood pressure and the degree of synchronisation of the EEG showed similar period fluctuations with positive correlation to neuronal activity. It is proposed that the central amygdaloid nucleus uses rhythmic patterns to coordinate somatomotor and vegetative systems.

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.
