[Neuronal organization of the cortical amygdalic nucleus in the rat brain].
Cytoarchitectonic peculiarities and neuronal organization of anterior (COa) and posterior (COp) cortical nuclei of the rat brain were studied on five levels:rostral and caudal levels of anterior and posterior regions appropriately and transitional hippocampal level. Neuronal composition characteristic for every level and interrelations between neurons of certain layers were demonstrated. The authors opinion is that COa and COp should be classified as interstitial structures, occupying the position between nuclear and screen centres of the nervous system. All the structures of the cortical nucleus portion described are characterized by original neuronal organization.
