[Effect of electric stimulation of different portions of the amygdala on the formation of alimentary conditioned reflexes in the dog].

In dogs with previous learning experience, a low-frequency (1 imp/s), weak (20-50 mcA) amygdala stimulation produces dissimilar influences on formation rate and value of conditioned alimentary reflexes in dependence on stimulation localization. At stimulation of amygdala basolateral part, the reflexes formation proceeds 2-3 times slower than normally. Their value is significantly reduced, the triggering of the secretory reaction is delayed. Dorsomedial part stimulation accelerates the process of conditioning, intensifies the secretion but delays the start of secretory reaction. The elaboration of differentiation inhibition is facilitated by basolateral part stimulation and is impeded by dorsomedial amygdala activation.
