Eb. Arushanyan, STRIATUM IN THE SYSTEM OF CENTRAL CONTROL OF BIOLOGICAL RHYTHMS, Zurnal vyssej nervnoj deatelnosti im. I.P. Pavlova, 48(2), 1998, pp. 296-303
Striatum as a primary oscillatory brain structure participates in orga
nization of the short-period pharmacogenous rhythms (amphetamine-induc
ed stereotypy and haloperidol catalepsy) and time course of forced swi
mming. This form of activity can be controlled by the functional conne
ctions of the striatum with suprachiasmatic hypothalamic nuclei and pi
neal gland.
