title: [Rostro-caudal gradient in the amygdala structural and functional organisation].
abstract: New data supporting the assumptions of the hypothesis stating the rostro-caudal gradient in the amygdala structural and functional organization are presented. First formulated on the basis of particular location of amygdala zones possessing sexual dimorphism, the above hypothesis is corroborated by the works which characterize its structural organization, participation of amygdala rostral and caudal parts in ensuring various functions including behavior. The authors believe that the amygdala rostro-caudal gradient is predetermined by the phase character of its formation in phylogenesis.
