Differential effects of inactivation of the right and left basolateral amygdala on spatial memory in place avoidance task in rats
There is strong evidence that two cerebral hemispheres are differentially involved in emotional memory and that amygdala is a key subcortical structure for emotional experience. The present research investigated the possible involvement of lateralization of basolateral amygdala (BLA) and central amygdala (CEA) in place avoidance memory. For this purpose, male Long-Evans rats (280-320 g) were im...
متن کاملInvolvement of α-1-adrenergic receptors in central region of amygdala and the effects of cannabinoid agonist on inhibitory avoidance memory in male rats
Introduction: There are many similarities between memory impairment in patients suffering from Alzheimer and animals treated by Cannabinoids. The agonists of Cannabinoid receptors affect on a variety of memories and leanings. The present study aims to investigate the role of α-1-adrenergic receptors in central region of amygdala in state-dependent learning induced by WIN55,212-2 (cannabin...
متن کاملPKMζ contributes in consolidation, retrieval and maintenance of amygdala dependent fear memory in rats
Introduction: Protein kinase M zeta (PKMζ) is assumed to be actively involved in retainig long-term potentiation. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of PKMζ in basolateral amygdala (BLA) upon acquisition, consolidation, retention and retrieval of memory using a specific inhibitor of PKMζ. Methods: Sixty male wistar rats underwent stereotaxic surgery and were cannu...
متن کاملInvolvement of basolateral amygdala alpha2-adrenoceptors in modulating consolidation of inhibitory avoidance memory.
These experiments investigated the role of the alpha(2)-adrenoceptors of the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) in modulating the retention of inhibitory avoidance (IA). In Experiment 1, male Sprague Dawley rats implanted with bilateral cannulae in the BLA received microinfusions of a selective alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan 20 min either before or immediately after training. ...
