Localization of GABA-like immunoreactivity in the monkey amygdala

Neuroscience
A J McDonald, J R Augustine

Abstract

Neurons exhibiting GABA-like immunoreactivity were identified in the monkey amygdala using an avidin-biotin immunohistochemical technique. The pattern of GABA immunoreactivity was very similar in the basolateral and superficial amygdaloid nuclei. In these regions GABA-positive cells were nonpyramidal neurons that were often arranged in clusters or curvilinear rows. These GABA-positive nonpyramidal neurons constituted about 25% of the total neuronal population of the basolateral and superficial amygdaloid nuclei. Numerous GABA-positive puncta resembling axon terminals were observed both in the neuropil and encapsulating the perikarya of GABA-negative pyramidal cells. The pattern of GABA-like immunoreactivity was different in the central and medial amygdaloid nuclei. These regions contained a very dense array of GABA-positive puncta. There were numerous GABA-positive neurons in the lateral subdivision of the central nucleus and fewer cells in the medial nucleus and medial subdivision of the central nucleus. Many immunoreactive puncta were observed contacting the perikarya and dendrites of GABA-positive cells in these regions. The intercalated nuclei consisted of numerous, small, GABA-positive neurons and a few, larger, GABA-negat...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.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

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.
