The Neural Connections of the Amygdaloid Complex in Mammals

  • Chapter
The Neurobiology of the Amygdala

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI,volume 2))

Abstract

There is an extensive literature regarding the neural connections of the amygdaloid complex. Reviews of the older literature, based mainly on descriptions from normal material or from experimental Marchi material, have been published previously (Pribram and Kruger, 1954; Thomalske, Klingler and Worringer, 1957; Gastaut and Lammers, 1961). In the present survey, I intend to concentrate on the work done since then which, owing to improved histological and experimental techniques, has provided us with more reliable and more detailed information.
