Abstract

Connections between the amygdala and auditory cortical areas TC, and the rostral, intermediate and caudal regions of area TA (TAr, TAi and TAc, respectively) in the macaque monkey (Macaca fuscata and Macaca nemestrina) were investigated following placements of cortical deposits of wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). Areas TC and TAc received weak projections and these derived only from the lateral basal nucleus. Areas TAi and TAr received projections from the lateral, lateral basal and accessory basal nuclei. In contrast, corticopetal projections to the amygdala originated in areas TAi and TAr, but never in TAc or TC. The projections from areas TAi and TAr terminated only in the lateral nucleus, and in particular at the lateral part of the middle and caudal portions of the amygdala. Thus, the amygdalofugal projections to the auditory cortices are more widespread and more complex than the amygdalopetal projections of the auditory cortices. As judged from experiments in which deposits were made at different sites along the rostrocaudal axis of the auditory cortex, there was a progressive increase seen in density of the amygdala connections with more anteriorly-placed injection sites.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.
