  • Title: The mammillary body is a potential site of antianxiety action of benzodiazepines.
    Author: Kataoka Y, Shibata K, Gomita Y, Ueki S.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1982 Jun 10; 241(2):374-7. PubMed ID: 6125244.
    Abstract:
    The present study was designed to examine the anticonflict action of benzodiazepines injected into the mammillary body (MB) using the rat conflict-punishment procedure. Diazepam 20 micrograms/microliters, chlordiazepoxide 60 micrograms/microliters and midazolam 30 micrograms/microliters, bilaterally injected into the MB, produced a significant increase in the punished responses without changes in the unpunished responses. These findings have demonstrated for the first time that the MB could be a potential site of antianxiety action of benzodiazepines.
