โœฆ Synopsis

Spontaneous unit activity was recorded from the caudate nucleus in rats anesthetized with urethane. Amygdaloid nucleus stimulation altered the spontaneous activity of 51 units (65% of the population tested); 23 units (29%) showed an increase and 28 (36%) a decrease of discharge rate. Moreover, 25 units (32%) responded to stimulation with stimulus-locked spikes. Post-stimulus time histograms revealed 7 patterns of response to amygdaloid stimulation. In 4 groups of cells, stimulus-locked spikes occurred followed by alteration of spontaneous discharge rate. In another 2 groups there was a change of spontaneous discharge without stimulus-locked spikes and in the final group no effect occurred. The possibility of mono-, oligo-, and polysynaptic connections from amygdaloid nuclear complex to caudate nucleus was discussed. It was suggested that an amygdalofugal connection to basal ganglia may provide a pathway whereby activity of the limbic system may exert a modulatory influence on somatic motor mechanisms.
