[Effect of damage to the serotonin- and noradrenergic systems of the brain on alimentary and defensive conditioned reflexes in rats]. 1979

E A Gromova, and T P Semenova, and O N Li, and I V Nesterova

A study was made on 79 Wistar male rats of the influence of destruction of single nuclei in the brain serotonin- and noradrenergic systems on their learning with alimentary and pain reinforcements. Electrolytic lesion of the raphe dorsal and medial nuclei hindered the formation of alimentary conditioned reflexes, while facilitating the elaboration of a conditioned active avoidance reaction. Destruction of the locus coeruleus was attended with improved alimentary learning, while the elaboration of conditioned active avoidance reaction proved to be more difficult as compared with that in the control animals. A conclusion is drawn that the nature of the influence of local ablation of individual nuclei in the brain serotonin- and noradrenergic systems on animals' learning is determined by the emotional sign of the reinforcing stimulus.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
