Demonstration of a heavy projection of midline thalamic neurons upon the lateral nucleus of the amygdala of the rat.
Using a horizontal approach horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was microiontophoretically applied in the lateral posterior nucleus (ALP) of the amygdala. Retrograde labeled neurons were found in various midline and intralaminar thalamic nuclei and particularly in the inter-antero-medial nucleus (IAM) of the thalamus. The number of labeled neurons found in IAM amounted to more than 30% of the total brain HRP positive cells.
