Sex difference in the substance P-immunoreactive innervation of the medial nucleus of the amygdala.

Brain Research Bulletin

Abstract

Discrete fields of substance P-immunoreactive fibers are present within the posterior dorsal division of the medial nucleus of the amygdala and the posterior medial bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in adult male and female rats. We previously reported a sex difference in the extent of this innervation of the bed nucleus. In the present study, we have replicated our earlier finding and found an equally dramatic sex difference in the amygdala. Morphometry revealed that the areas of dense staining in both the medial amygdala and the medial bed nucleus were more than twice as large in male brains.

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.

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.
