Abstract

By means of immunocytochemical techniques ovine prolactin like immunoreactivity (oPRL-LIR) has been demonstrated in the perikarya located around fornix in the dorso-lateral part of the rat hypothalamus. No PRL-LIR was observed in the arcuate n. perikarya. Immunoreactive fibers were present in the hypothalamus, medial thalamus, accumbens and amygdaloid nuclei.

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.
