Description
Experimental evidence indicated that catecholamines are able to modulate information processing in the amygdaloid complex. The present study provides a detailed documentation of ultrastructural and neurochmical characteristics of dopaminergic, noradrinergic, and adrenergic afferent fibers and of their target structures in central, basal and intercalated amygdaloid nuclei.
