Taming in wild rats following medial amygdaloid lesions

Physiology & Behavior

Abstract

Flight behavior, startle reactions, and defensiveness to nonpainful stimuli were examined before and after medial amygdaloid lesions in wild Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus. Lesions which included bilateral damage to the medial nucleus strongly reduced defensiveness but had no effect on flight behavior. In contrast, damage to nearby medial structures, which spared the medial nucleus, had no effect on defensiveness but reduced flight behavior. All lesions produced a transient decrease in activity but had no effect on startle reactions. The results suggest a differential organization of flight and defense behavior within the medial 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.

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.
