...Astrid Deryckere; Jamie Woych; Eliza C.B. Jaeger; Maria Antonietta Tosches The amygdala is a complex brain structure in the vertebrate telencephalon, essential for regulating social behaviors, emotions, and (social) cognition. In contrast to the vast majority of neuron types described in the many...

...Thomas Mueller The amygdala, a complex array of nuclei in the forebrain, controls emotions and emotion-related behaviors in vertebrates. Current research aims to understand the amygdala’s evolution in ray-finned fish such as zebrafish because of the region’s relevance for social behavior and human...

...Lara D. LaDage; Tracy Yu; Peter A. Zani Several areas of the vertebrate brain are involved in facilitating and inhibiting the production of sexual behaviors and displays. In the laboratory, a higher rate of sexual displays is correlated with a larger ventral posterior amygdala (VPA), an area...

... for the neural basis of this adaptation, because they interact with others through a variety of vocalizations in complex social relationships. The nucleus taeniae of the amygdala (TnA) is a structure located in the ventromedial arcopallium, which is akin to the mammalian medial amygdala. Studies on the anatomy...

... that Dmd is homologous to the tetrapod amygdala, a case can also be made that Dmd has ‘sensory neocortex-like' features. Understanding the interrelationships of Dl, Dmd, and Dc seems a necessary ‘next step' in the identification of the neural processes responsible for mental experiences such as those...

... (BNST), which corresponded with a higher level of nest building and a higher HNGI score than was found in the less parental white-footed mice. The HNGI score was positively associated with AVP-ir in the medial amygdala in female California mice but not white-footed mice. Finally, we examined whether AVP...

... focused on three brain regions, the arcopallium (AP), the nucleus taeniae of the amygdala and the lateral striatum (LSt), that have been implicated to some extent in aspects of these behaviors in order to investigate whether potential differences in these brain areas may be associated with our previously...

.... The putative paternal circuit we investigated included brain areas involved in fear/anxiety [cingulate cortex (Cg), medial amygdala (MeA), paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), and lateral septum (LS)], parental motivation [medial preoptic area (MPOA)], learning/behavioral plasticity (hippocampus...

... hypothalamus, lateral septum (LS), and locally within the BST and amygdala. The MPO and LS are implicated in the social behaviors of many rodents [Clarke and File, 1982; Sheehan et al., 2004; Korzan et al., 2006; Heimovics et al., 2009], including prairie voles. Indeed, IEG expression in the MPO increases...

.... As our primary interest was evaluating the potential role of 5αR in forebrain regulation of reproductive behavior, we quantified 5αR2 expression in the preoptic area, amygdala (AMY), and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). More 5αR2 cells were detected during the NBS than BS in the AMY, and the density...

Limbic modulations of sensorimotor-related neural centers are envisaged to result from comparisons in various neural centers of converging inputs from the relevance-sensitive amygdala and from corollary, cortically-modulated recipients of amygdaloid information. Such comparisons...

They were also within eutherian ranges in the proportion of the total brain weight...
