title: Deep temporal lobe projections to the nucleus of the diagonal band of Broca.
abstract: Electrophysiological studies with acutely prepared cats found that stimulation of deep temporal lobe structures (e.g., amygdala, prepyriform cortex) evoked responses in the nucleus of the diagonal band of Broca. An analysis of field, extra- and intracellular unitary responses points to the existence of a monosynaptic excitatory connection.
