Abstract

Horseradish peroxidase was injected in different parts of the mesencephalic, pontine and medullary tegmentum in the rat, cat and rhesus monkey. In each species, large numbers of retrogradely labeled neurons were observed in the ipsilateral amygdala mainly in the central nucleus. These amygdaloid neurons, therefore, give rise to a hitherto unreported descending pathway which proceeds as far caudally as the medulla oblongata.
