Figure 7. Patterns of axonal terminations from the amygdala in prefrontal cortices.

Figure 7

A, Darkfield photomicrograph showing bilaminar distribution of axonal terminals (red arrowheads) in orbitofrontal area 13. Numbers outside the panels indicate the layers (demarcated with dotted lines). B, Brightfield photomicrograph of tissue in A, counterstained with Nissl (blue) to delineate architectonic and laminar borders. C, Patchy distribution of axonal terminals in layer 2 of dorsolateral area 9 (arrowheads). D, Bilaminar pattern of innervation in the superficial and deep layers (red arrowheads), and an adjacent column of axonal terminals (green arrowheads) in medial area 32. E Distribution of axonal terminals in layer 1 of area O14 (blue arrowhead). F Patchy distribution of axonal terminals in the middle and deep layers of area 11 (arrowheads). G, Bilaminar distribution of axonal terminals in area O25, seen mostly in layers 1, and 4−6 (red arrowheads), with small patch of innervation in the middle layers (yellow arrowhead). H, Column of axonal terminals in caudal orbitofrontal area OPro (green arrowheads) and an adjacent bilaminar pattern of innervation (red arrowheads). I, Distribution of axonal terminals in all layers of area M25. Scale bars = 0.5 mm (A-I). Bar in A applies to B-G.
