title: Amygdalospinal projections in the cat.
abstract: Spinal cord injections of rhodamine-labeled fluorescent latex microspheres in the cat resulted in retrograde labeling of a dense, well-defined group of neurons within the central nucleus of the amygdala and a modest number of neurons in the medial nucleus. Amygdalospinal neurons were found to be large cells of variable shape and orientation that were distributed bilaterally with an ipsilateral predominence.
