title: [Neuro-pathophysiologic effects during primary hyperactivation of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the rat brain].
abstract: Penicillin administration into the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) in the rat brain caused epileptiform activity (EpA)--the formation of the generator of pathologically enhanced excitation (GPEE) in the nucleus. GPEE was registered during the first 3 days. EpA was also detected in the amygdala during 5-8 days, and in the hippocamp during the whole period of registration (2-3 weeks). There was the generalized enhancement of synchronized EpA in the range of 6-10 oscillations per s., in some cases with high-amplitude spindle (7-8 oscillations per s.). 50% of animals had emotional behavioural disorders, a marked fear reaction was observed for a month and more. Some animals demonstrated psychotic-like paroxysms with the elements of stereotypy accompanied by high-frequency low-amplitude EpA. It is suggested that when a primary GPEE in BNST is formed, the structures of septo-hippocampal system (BNST, amygdala, hippocamp) play a role of pathological determinants under the influence of which the pathological system consisting of a number of limbic and extrapyramidal structures is formed. Its activity is clinically manifested in the complex polymorphic neuropathological syndrome.
