Figure 6. Projections to the amgydala projection zone from ACC and OFC regions.
A. The cortico-striatal projections from the IL (rat, left) and a25 (NHP, right) show substantial overlap with the amygdala-striatal projection region (brown) in both species. B. Medial sagittal (top) and orbital (bottom) views of cortical injection sites, colored according to the proportion of the corresponding striatal terminal field that occupies the amygdala projection zone. Warmer colors indicate greater overlap with the amygdala projection zone. Clear “hot spots” of cortico-striatal connectivity with the amygdala projection zone can be observed in the IL cortex (rat, left) and a25 (NHP, right).
