[Involvement of amygdala central nucleus in the regulation of cardiovascular functions].

Effects of high frequency stimulation of the amygdala central nucleus involved a selective decrease in the activity: an increase in the activity of the inferior cardiac nerve and a simultaneous decrease in the activity of the vertebral nerve, as well as an obvious BP increase. Bilateral electrolytic lesions of the same amygdala structure accompanied with an overload of the higher nervous activity induced no hypertensions. The role of the amygdala central nucleus in control of cardiovascular functions is discussed.

[Compensatory rehabilitation processes and instrumental reflexes in rats after neurotoxic lesions in the inferior olive].

Training and recovery of instrumental equilibrium reflexes are impossible after total neurotoxical destruction of the inferior olive in rats. Motor deficits and compensatory rehabilitation processes in rats following 3-acethylpyridine treatment and high transection of the dorso-lateral funiculus of the spinal cord are closely correlated with the degree of the inferior olive destruction. The data obtained revealed an improvement in the motor disturbance and a stabilising of the instrumental reflexes in the rats with subtotal lesion of the inferior olive.
