Effect of Oxytocin on Neuronal Activity in Amygdaloid Nuclei in Stressed Rats

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The dynamics of impulse activity of amygdaloid neurons in response to intravenous injection of oxytocin were examined in acute experiments on random-bred albino rats. Oxytocin modified activity of amygdaloid neurons in intact and stressed rats. The dose-dependent effects of oxytocin were manifested in changes in the latency of neuronal responses and in rearrangement of their spike activity. The oxytocin-induced neuronal responses were less pronounced in cells with high baseline activity.
