[Effect of hypokinesia on the ultrastructure of emotion-controlling structures in the rat brain].

Hypokinesia lasting 40 and 90 days causes a number of ultramicroscopic reorganizations in neurons, synapses and glial elements of the singular cortex and the central amygdaloid nucleus. The longer the time of hypokinesia, the more numerous and variable the reorganizations become. For the amygdaloid body presence of neurons with various degree of chromatolysis, reactive and destructive changes of organells, agglutination and reduction in number of the synaptic vesicles, increasing number of synapses, possessing certain features of low functional activity are most specific. For the singular cortes are peculiar convolution of nuclear and cellular membranes, synaptic contact, increasing intercellular spaces, as well as changes in the structure of some axo-spine synapses, the spine apparatus including.
