The distribution of electrical self-stimulation foci within the amygdala (AMY) was mapped using movable electrodes in rats. Each barpress delivered a 0.4-s train of cathodal rectangular pulses of fixed intensity and duration and variable frequency. The rate-frequency function was recorded for successive dorsoventral sites. Self-stimulation was foun...
The function relating bar-pressing rate to the frequency of cathodal pulses was obtained in rats self-stimulating with amygdaloid (AMY) and lateral hypothalamic (LH) electrodes. The maximum self-stimulation (SS) rates in the AMY was found to be very low, compared to the LH. Concurrent stimulation with pairs of AMY-LH pulses did not shift the rate-f...

... Rats reliably lever pressed for photo-stimulation of CeA, but not BLA neurons, suggesting that CeA neurons carry a primary reward signal. Our findings agree with earlier work showing that electrical stimulation of CeA cells is reinforcing (Prado-Alcalá and Wise, 1984;Kane et al., 1991). CeA neurons are mostly GABAergic, but they express different neuropeptides and have different anatomical connections. ...
... Experiments in mammals indicate that the amygdala is also a locus for EAS, independently of other (classical) centres supporting EAS [13]. Recently, the use of in vivo optogenetics has shown that mice nose-poke to selfstimulate glutamatergic cells in the basolateral amygdala, provided that D1 dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens are not blocked. ...
