The amygdaloid nuclei in the medial eminence at stage 17. (A) Transverse section showing the di-telencephalic transition. The hippocampal region and medial eminence protrude into the telencephalic ventricle. The key shows three of the four amygdaloid components that are now distinguishable. (B) Sagittal section in which the medial nucleus is visible adjacent to the future dentate region. Anterior and close to the medial nucleus are the basolateral complex and the anterior amygdaloid area. The cortical nucleus is present in more lateral sections.
