  Abstract:
High levels of histamine are found in the hippocampus. The central histamine system is involved in many physiological behavioural processes including anxiety-related behaviours both in animals and humans. In the present study, we investigated the effects of intra-hippocampal CA1 (intra-CA1) microinjection of histaminergic agents on anxiety-related behaviours in rats, using elevated plus-maze test of anxiety. Intra-CA1 administration of histamine (at the dose of 10 μg/rat) increased open arm time (
