Involvement of the amygdala in the effect of antidepressants on the passive avoidance deficit in bulbectomised rats.

D Garrigou, C L Broekkamp, K G Lloyd.   

Abstract

In the present study the role of the amygdala is demonstrated in the effect of antidepressant drugs on passive avoidance learning in bulbectomised rats. Imipramine, amitriptyline, or fluoxetine injected bilaterally (2 X 10 microgram) into the medial part of the amygdala improves passive avoidance learning by bulbectomised rats. Systemic pretreatment with metergoline attenuates the effect of local imipramine or fluoxetine injection. Microinjection of serotonin but not noradrenaline into the amygdala improves passive avoidance learning by bulbectomised rats. The relevance of the amygdala in the behavioral effects of antidepressants in animals is discussed.
