Unchanged norepinephrine turnover and concentrations in amygdala-kindled rat brain regions 2 months postseizure

Abstract

Norepinephrine turnover and concentrations were examined in eight brain regions of amygdala-kindled and yoked control rats. The subjects were killed 2 months after the kindled subjects had exhibited their sixth "stage 4-5" generalized seizure. No significant differences were found in norepinephrine turnover or concentrations between kindled and yoked control rats in any of the brain regions examined. Dopamine turnover and concentrations in brain regions were also unchanged in kindled rats compared with their yoked controls. The data suggest that amygdala kindling does not produce any long-lasting alterations in brain regional catecholamine turnover or concentrations.

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.
