Interamygdaloid connections in the rat studied by the horseradish peroxidase method.
Neurons of the rat amygdaloid body were labeled with horseradish peroxidase following its injection into contralateral nuclei of the amygdala. The results strongly suggest that there is a contralateral amygdaloid projection from the basal (dorsal and ventral) nuclei of amygdala; it terminates in the medial, central and lateral nucleus. True commissural connections were found only between posterior parts of the cortical nuclei of amygdala and between homonymous areas of the piriform cortex.
