Structural organization of the amygdaloid complex of the rat brain

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology

Abstract

The amygdaloid complex, traditionally regarded as part of the system of basal endbrain nuclei, has a unique structure in that it combines the two major principles of organization of the gray matter--the nuclear and the screening. Working from the studies of Zavarzin on the nuclear and screening centers, the authors suggest a classification of its structures into nuclei, paleocortex, and intermediate formations.

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.

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.
