title: Areas in the amygdala necessary to the operation of the vagosympathetic pressor reflex.
abstract: Lesions of portions of the basal and cortical amygdaloid nuclei and the stria terminalis reversed or abolished arterial pressor responses to ipsilateral centripetal vagal stimulation (CVS). Destruction of these particular limbic structures in the rat did not affect cardiopulmonary responses to CVS.
