Schematic representation of injection sites in coronal sections through the basolateral amygdala. Filled circles represent sites at which 100 pmol of BMI increased heart rate by 50 beats/min or greater. Filled trianglesrepresent sites at which 30 pmol of AMPA increased heart rate by 30 beats/min or greater. Filled squares represent sites at which 100 pmol of NMDA increased heart rate by 30 beats/min or greater.Open diamonds represent sites at which BMI, AMPA, and NMDA failed to increase heart rate by 25 beats/min or more.ACo, Anterior cortical amygdaloid nucleus;BLA, basolateral amygdaloid nucleus; BLV, ventral basolateral amygdaloid nucleus; BMA, anterior basomedial amygdaloid nucleus; CNA, central amygdaloid nucleus; DEn, dorsal endopiriform nucleus;IM, main intercalated amygdaloid nucleus;LaDL, dorsolateral lateral amygdaloid nucleus;OT; optic tract; Pir, piriform cortex;PLCo, posterolateral cortical amygdaloid nucleus;PVN, paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus;VMH, ventromedial hypothalamus; 3V, third ventricle.
