Structure, function and genoarchitectonics of the Central nucleus of the Brain’s Amygdala

The review presents the latest literature describing Central nucleus of Amygdala complex brain (CE), which is an important link in autonomic nervous network. It appears early stages evolution telencephalon. This determines its solid phylogenetic age and explains heteromorphy, manifested by presence a number subnucleus: medial, intermediate, lateral latero-capsular. article provides information about features cytoarchitectonics, neural organization subnucleus neuropeptides. Among latter, special attention paid to vasopressin oxytocin connection with identified new way innervation amygdala complex, has at least two origins: 1. arising from small population neurons localized intra-amygdalar portion bed stria terminalis, 2.originating hypothalamic neurosecretory nuclei. Afferent efferent connections CE are characterized. A large studies define medial as center integration incoming main channel for exit CE. At same time, point where follow centers stem that control cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic motor functions. Information provided functions, including regulation various forms social behavior, eating involvement functional reinforcement systems. results genetic indicate derivative striatal division ganglionic eminence, formation expression Dlx5 Lmo4 genes.
