Coronal Nissl-stained sections through the amygdala of the rat (A) and monkey (B). (A) Nuclei of the rat amygdala (nomenclature of Paxinos & Watson, 1997): BLa, anterior basolateral nucleus; BLp, posterior basolateral nucleus; BLv, ventral basolateral nucleus; BMp, posterior basomedial nucleus; CL, lateral central nucleus; CM, medial central nucleus; Copl, posterolateral cortical nucleus; IN, intercalated nucleus; Ldl, dorsolateral lateral nucleus; Lvl, ventrolateral lateral nucleus; Lvm, ventromedial lateral nucleus; M, medial nucleus. (B) Nuclei of the monkey amygdala (nomenclature of Price, Russchen, & Amaral, 1987): ABmg, magnocellular accessory basal nucleus; ABpc, parvicellular accessory basal nucleus; ABvm, ventromedial accessory basal nucleus; Bmg, magnocellular basal nucleus; Bpc, parvicellular basal nucleus; CL, lateral central nucleus; CM, medial central nucleus; Ldm, dorsomedial lateral nucleus; Lvl, ventrolateral lateral nucleus; LV, inferior horn of the lateral ventricle; M, medial nucleus; PAC, periamygdaloid cortex. Scale bar (see A) = 250μm for (A) and 750μm for (B).
