Describe the method of LeDoux and colleagues 1988
Electrolytic lesions (which destroy neurons and fibers of passage) and ibotenic acid lesions (which spare fibers of passage) of CeA
LeDoux et al 1988 Results
Lesion to caudal CG (by either method)- reduced conditioned freezing, no impact on arterial pressure
Lesion to lateral hypothalamus- impaired conditioning of changes in mean arterial pressure
CeA projection to Caudal Central Gray- conditioned emotional behavior (freezing)
CeA projection to lateral hypothalamus- conditioned autonomic response (mean arterial pressure)
