Abstract
The present study was designed to identify the definitive site in the amygdala of the anticonflict action of benzodiazepines (BZD). Diazepam 20 μg/μl, chlordiazepoxide 60 μg/μl and midazolam 30 μg/μl, bilaterally injected into the central amygdaloid nucleus (ACE), significantly increased the punished responses, but BZD injected into the medial and basolateral amygdaloid nucleus did not. These results suggest that the ACE could be a potential site of antianxiety actions of BZD.
