The influence of neuromediators injected into nucleus caudatus on bioelectrical seizure activity of amygdala

The influence of electrical and chemical stimulation of nucleus caudatus (NC) on bioelectrical seizure activity of amygdala (Am) was studied in rabbits. The electrical stimulation of NC inhibits seizures in Am induced by the administration of picrotoxin into this nucleus. Dopamine (DA) and cholinomimetics-metacholine and neostygmine-applied into NC inhibit seizures in Am. Noradrenaline (NA) acts biphasically, first potentiating and then inhibiting seizures in Am. Serotonin (5-HT) and glutamic acid (GA) administered to NC do not affect the seizures. In the case of seizures excited by electrical stimulation, DA and neostygmine possessed inhibiting action; NA, too, inhibited seizures without, however, inducing primary stimulation. Similarly as in the case of picrotoxin-stimulated seizures, neither 5-HT nor GA brought about the effects. The present study deals with the correlation of dopaminergic anc cholinergic systems in NC.
