Abstract

The extracellular electrical activities of the anterior limbic cortex (LC) neurons to electrical stimulation of amygdaloid central and basolateral nuclei in anesthetized cats was investigated. The orthodromic and antidromic responses of silent-neurons of LC were registered. These results show the existence of short and direct bilateral connections between the anterior LC and different amygdaloid nuclei. It is supposed, that these connections present a "quick-reacting" system, which takes part in the central regulation of the emotional responses.
