Several evidences suggest that the posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) can be a relevant part of the rat neural circuitry for the regulation of hypothalamic neuroendocrine secretion and for ontogenetically different behavioral displays. The dendritic spine density of Golgi-impregnated neurons from the MePD was evaluated in young rats following acute or chronic restraint stress and in aged animals (24 months old). Compared to the control group, a single 1 h restraint stress session promoted a decreased spine density (p<0.01) whereas a single 6 h restraint stress session or daily 6-h restraint sessions for 28 consecutive days did not lead to the same effect (p>0.05). Aged rats showed no difference in this dendritic spine parameter when compared to young adults (p>0.05). These results indicate that short-term stress (1 h) can affect MePD dendritic spines and that neural plasticity is involved with adaptive responses onwards in restrained rats. On the other hand, brain structural modifications related with ageing appear not to influence the number of certain postsynaptic sites in the MePD of rats.
