Research Abstract |
(1) We indicated that both excitatory output from the basolateral nucleus of amygdala (BLA) and inhibitory output from the intercalated nucleus of amygdala (ITC) dually regulated the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) which performed the final output of anxiety response from the amygdala, using conditioned fear in rats, an animal model of anxiety.(2)We indicated that the infralimbic cortex (IL) regulates impulsivity, using 3 choice serial reaction time task, an animal model of impulsivity. Noradrenalin increase in the brain inhibited impulsivity, whereas stimulation of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in IL enhanced impulsivity.
