Uncoupling of local blood flow and metabolism in the hippocampal CA3 in kainic acid-induced limbic seizure status

Abstract

Limbic seizure status was induced by microinjection of kainic acid into a unilateral amygdala in rats. Two hours after kainic acid injection, distant neuronal cell damage was produced, especially in the hippocampal CA3 on the kainic acid-injected side. In order to elucidate the mechanism of this neuronal cell damage, local cerebral glucose utilization and local cerebral blood flow were studied by means of an autoradiographic method using [14C]2-deoxyglucose and [14C]iodoantipyrine during kainic acid-induced limbic seizure status. These studies were performed 2 h after kainic acid microinjection into a unilateral amygdala. Both local cerebral glucose utilization and local cerebral blood flow were remarkably increased in the limbic system, ventrobasal complex of the thalamus, septal nucleus, nucleus accumbens, caudate nucleus, substantia nigra and hypothalamus on the kainic acid-injected side. In the hippocampus, local cerebral glucose utilization increased 2.6 times control in CA1 and 4.1 times in CA3, whereas the rates of increase in local cerebral blood flow were similarly low in CA1 and CA3: 1.2 and 1.4 times control, respectively. The results demonstrated that the degree of uncoupling of local cerebral glucose utilization an...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

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.
