GABAergic IM neurons form a continuous inhibitory net. IM neurons surround primarily the basal and lateral nuclei, and to a lesser extent, the cortical nuclei of the amygdala. Top, Reconstruction of the amygdala in the rhesus monkey in 3D shows the distribution of IM neurons (red dots) in tissue slab (left). The relative antero-posterior position of the amygdala is depicted on the lateral view of the right hemisphere (right). Bottom, Serial coronal sections were outlined and used to reconstruct the IM in 3D and map neurons in each case. Each red dot represents one plotted neuron. Note that IM neurons partly outline the basal nuclei. Scale bars: 5 mm.
