Interamygdaloid connection of basolateral nucleus through the anterior commissure in the rat.
Basolateral amygdaloid nucleus interconnections through the anterior commissure (ac) are well visualized using wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase tracer (WGA-HRP) in control animals. On the other hand, few neurons in the contralateral basolateral amygdaloid nucleus were labeled when the WGA-HRP was injected after a complete transection of the anterior commissure. These results indicate that the basolateral nucleus projects through the anterior commissure to the homologous amygdaloid nucleus in the contralateral hemisphere.
