Abstract

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected to various parts of the amygdala in 50 rats. Retrograde axonal transport revealed that tegmental areas containing biogenic amines: dorsal and median raphe nuclei, locus coeruleus and ventral tegmental area, project diffusely to various amygdaloid areas. Moreover, HRP labeled cells were found in the parabrachial nucleus (following injection of the lateral amygdaloid nucleus) and in tegmental dorsolateral nucleus (after injection of the central nucleus of amygdala).
