Ultrastructural evidence of amygdalofugal axons terminating on cholinergic cells of the rostral forebrain.
In the present study a double-label ultrastructural procedure was used to study amygdalofugal fibers contacting cholinergic cells of the rostral forebrain. Following horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injections into the basolateral amygdala, anterogradely transported HRP was detected in axon terminals contacting the dendrites of choline acetyltransferase-containing cells in the ventral pallidum.
