Morphological changes in the structures of the amygdalar complex of rats under chronic stress

The aim of the study is to analyze structural and functional shifts in the structures of the amygdalar complex of animals (rats) during the development of chronic stress. The experimental study was conducted on 44 white male rats. To reproduce emotional overstrain, the experiment used a model of immobilization stress lasting 7, 14, 30, and 120 days. The most pronounced dystrophic processes begin to manifest after 30 days of immobilization and are determined in the medial, cortical and lateral nuclei of the amygdalar complex.
