Cortical, thalamic, and amygdaloid projections of rat temporal cortex

The Journal of Comparative Neurology

Abstract

The cortical, thalamic, and amygdaloid connections of the rodent temporal cortices were investigated by using the anterograde transport of iontophoretically injected biocytin. Injections into area Te1 labeled axons and terminals in the ventral regions of the dorsal and ventral subnuclei of the medial geniculate complex, area Te3, the rostrodorsal part of area Te2, and the ventrocaudal caudate putamen. No amygdaloid labeling was observed. Thalamic projections from Te2 targeted the lateral posterior nucleus, the dorsal part of the dorsal subnucleus of the medial geniculate complex, and the peripeduncular nucleus. Corticocortical projections mainly terminated in the dorsal perirhinal cortex, but moderately dense projections were observed in medial and lateral peristriate cortex, and only light projections were observed to Te1 and Te3. Projections to these isocortical regions terminated in layers I and VI. Amygdaloid projections targeted the ventromedial subdivision of the lateral nucleus and the adjacent part of the anterior basolateral nucleus. Area Te3 was observed to project to the ventrolateral parts of the dorsal and ventral subnuclei of the medial geniculate complex, the dorsal perirhinal cortex, rostral Te2, and Te1. In the...Continue Reading

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.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.

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.
