[The dependence of striatal control over the temporal organization of behavior on the function of beta-adrenergic mechanisms]
Abstract
Bilateral striatectomy disorganized the rhythmical structure of forced swimming and circadian motility of rats. Destruction of dorsal but not ventral striatum eliminated the effect of beta-adrenoblocker propranolol on temporal organization of behaviour. The results suggest that just the dorsal striatum is mainly subjected to adrenergic control.
