Catecholaminergic Innervation of the Rat Amygdala

A detailed description of ultrastructural and neurochemical characteristics of dopaminergic, noradrinergic and adrenergic afferent fibers and of their target structures in the central, basal and intercalated nuclei of the rat amygdala. The results serve as a basis for the interpretation of the effects of catecholamines upon amygdaloid functions in emotion, attention, learning and memory.
