Amygdaloid lesions: differential effect on conditioned stress and immobilization-induced increases in corticosterone and renin secretion

The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of the central nucleus of the amygdala to the expression of stress-induced increase in corticosterone and renin secretion. Neurons in the central amygdaloid nucleus of male rats were destroyed by bilateral injections of ibotenic acid, a neuro...
