title: [The effect of brain stem structures on the formation of defensive behavior in animals].
abstract: Electrical lesions of the nucleus cuneiformis, parabrachial medial nucleus, nucleus raphe median and the nucleus raphe magnus induce an active response of defence. Local microinjections of kainic acid in these sites result in a contrary effect. The findings suggest that inhibitory locomotor system of the brainstem may influence the formation of defensive behaviour in rats.
