In the cage, they included a lever which the rat could press to receive a brief pulse of electrical stimulation of "reward centers" in the rat's brain called the
septal area. Soon, the scientists found that the rat would rather press the lever than eat food.
[15,24] Thus, it is likely that lateral
septal area together with mPOA and median forebrain bundle may play a role in integrating limbic influences for expression of total masculine behavior.
Providing support, regardless of who received the support, was linked to increased activation of the ventral striatum (VS) and
septal area (SA) - regions previously linked to parental care behaviors in animals.
Left ventricular dyssynchrony also impairs septal myocardial perfusion due to high intramyocardial pressure during early diastole [8], which might explain angina in absence of angiographic coronary arteries stenosis in our patient, with premature ventricular contractions arising in the basal
septal area.
Out of 77 cases of septal bleeder, 44 cases are from
septal area anterior to middle turbinate and 29 cases are from posterior to middle turbinate, which is followed by bleeder below inferior turbinate.
Secondly we wanted to emphasize the fact that care must be taken during septoplasty operation particularly while performing the intervention to the inferior
septal area.
Anterior epistaxis can usually be treated by application of direct pressure on
septal area, vasoconstrictor nasal drops, chemical and electrocautery, anterior nasal packing for 2-3 days and nasal tampons.
Positive reinforcement produced by electrical stimulation of
septal area and other regions of rat brain.
Another area of the brain that showed more activity was the
septal area, a pleasure center that plays a role in threat and stress reduction by inhibiting other regions of the brain that process threats, such as the amygdala.
Researchers found, for example, that the neural activity in the reward-related regions of the brain known as the ventral striatum and
septal area, was especially noticeable in people offering support and care for a loved one experiencing pain.
Endogenous antipyretics attenuate fever by influencing the thermoregulatoty neurons in the preoptic region and anterior hypothalamus and in adjacent
septal areas. Well known for its antidiuretic and vasopressive properties, AVP plays an important role in antipyresis via the ventral
septal area of the limbic system.
In rat brain, because GABAergic neurons in the medial
septal area link with cholinergic neurons that send projections to the hippocampus (Amaral and Kurtz, 1985; Gaykema et al., 1990), hippocampal ACh release from the cholinergic nerve terminal is inhibited by activating GABAA receptors located on the soma in the medial
septal area (Imperato et al., 1994a; Moor et al., 1998).
