Abstract

With the aim to reveal zones of sex dimorphism by means of the karyometry method, 25 zones of the basolateral structures have been investigated in the amygdaloid complex. Mature rats (15 males and 10 females) are decapitated, the brain is fixed in 10% neutral formalin, paraffin slices are stained with hematoxylin-eosin and with cresyl violet. A complete idea on topography of the sex dimorphism zones on the territory of the basolateral structures of the amygdaloid complex is given. The zones mentioned are localized predominantly in the posterior part of the amygdaloid complex, making composition of the basolateral and dorsal endopiriform nuclei.

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.
