Cortical-subcortical loops are an important principle of macro-scale anatomical organization. (A) Standard basal ganglia loops. All sectors of the cortex project to the striatum, looping back via the thalamus. (B) The extended amygdala loop has a comparable overall organization. Note that the strongest projection from the cortex/pallium is from the basolateral amygdala which is substantially more pronounced than that of other sectors. Line thickness of the connections between the cortex/pallium to the central amygdala conveys pathway weight.
