[Laterality of food handling movements in rats].

Lateralization of motor food skills has been investigated on 77 adult white rats. The predominance for the left anterior extremity while carrying out food was found in 53.5% of rats, the right extremity--in 36.4% of rats. 10.3% of rats belonged to ambidexters. Prevalence of using left extremity was peculiar to the females as against the male ones. Three generations of left-handed rats obtained by crossing have been followed. Rats making use of the left extremity to take out food predominated in the second and third generates.

[The role of the basolateral nuclei of the rat amygdala in organizing rapid food-acquisition movements].

The influence of electrolytic destruction of the basolateral nucleus of amygdala (BLA) on rapid food-getting movements was studied in albino rats. After one side destruction of the BLA, contralateral to the working forelimb it was found that the number of movements and their frequency decreased with an increase of their duration. After two side destruction of the BLA the number of movements increased with a decrease of their frequency. Duration of movements was unstable. After the BLA destruction (especially two side) all parameters were unstable both each day and during each experiment. Different level and character of the compensation after one- and two side destruction of the BLA was observed. The conclusion is made about the activating, stabilizing and training influences of the BLA on the rapid food-getting movements in rats.
