摘要: The neuropeptide galanin is present in limbic brain areas important for emotionality. We examined whether central may be involved mechanisms of anxiety. Rats were tested a pharmacologically validated animal model anxiety, the Vogel punished drinking test. A 100% increase responding was seen after 3 nmol i.c.v. After 15 nmol, signs sedation seen, and no could observed. Drinking motivation, shock thresholds exploratory locomotor activity not affected by galanin. These results support specific anxiolytic-like action galanin, similar to that functionally related peptide, Y.
