Nissl-stained coronal sections through two levels in an amygdala-lesioned subject's anterior temporal lobe. The amygdala in this subject was substantially damaged, whereas adjacent structures, including the entorhinal cortex, were primarily intact. a, Rostral level showing an expanded ventricle and substantial amygdala damage on the right side and cell damage to the rostral portion of the amygdala on the left side. The asterisk indicates sparing in the medial portion of the accessory basal nucleus and the periamygdaloid cortex. b, Caudal level of the amygdala showing expanded ventricle and nearly complete cell loss on the right side and substantial cell damage on the left side. The asterisk indicates sparing in a small, ventomedial medial portion of the parvicellular division of the basal nucleus on the left side.
