Amygdalospinal projections in the macaque monkey.
Injection of horseradish peroxidase into the cervical cord in the macaque monkey led to the retrograde labeling of neurons in the caudal part of the central nucleus of the amygdala ipsilateral to the spinal half where the injection was made. Although the number of labeled neurons in the amygdala was small, they were constantly found in 7 macaque monkeys (3 Japanese monkeys, 3 crab-eating monkeys and 1 rhesus monkey) which were injected with the enzyme into the upper and middle cervical cord segments.
