Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Chemical stimulation of the basolateral area of the amygdala by acetylcholine at a dose of 300 μg, carbocholine at a dose of 0.5 μg, and atropine at a dose of 60 μg changes the production of the secretory component of alimentary reactions but has no effect on the production of the instrumental component.

     
  2. 2.

    Activation of the cholinoreactive system of the amygdaloid complex in dogs has an inhibiting action and blockage an activating action on the production of alimentary secretory conditioned reflexes; in the case of a decrease in the value of the total conditioned reflex salivation, differentiation is improved, while in the case of an increase in this value it is impaired.

     
  3. 3.

    On blockage and activation of the cholinoreactive system of the basolateral area of the amygdala, the ratio of the conditioned reflex salivation in response to different stimuli presented in a stereotype order (dynamic stereotype) changes.
