(1) The amygdaloid form is rare.(2) Within the temporal lobe, the amygdaloid nucleus is seen.(3) For example, damage to the central amygdaloid nucleus reduces activation of NTS and PVN neurons following IL - 1beta injections and attenuates stress-induced norepinephrine release in the PVN.(4) However, we do know that breathing can be u2018drivenu2019 by activation of the amygdaloid nucleus within the limbic system - a complex brain area concerned with feeling and emotions.(5) In the telencephalon, PRV-Ba-Gal and PRV-Ba labeled neurons were found in the amygdaloid nucleus .(6) The amygdaloid nuclei project to ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus via the stria terminalis.
