Fig. 7. Photomicrographs showing labeled cells and fibers in
transverse sections in the brain in experiments confirming the connections
of the lateral amygdala. a: Lateral olfactory tract fibers after
FDA injection into the main olfactory bulb. b: Cells and fibers labeled
in the lateral amygdala and medial amygdala after BDA injection into
the ventral hypothalamus. c: Double-labeled section (the same as in a
and b) showing simultaneosly the terminal neuropil formed by axons
from the main olfactory bulb (green) and the labeled cells in the
lateral amygdala that project to the hypothalamus (red). d,e: Pair of
photomicrographs showing cells and fibers labeled in the lateral
amygdala and medial amygdala after BDA injection into the ventral
hypothalamus (d) and simultaneous labeling for nitric oxide synthase
(e) immunohistochemistry in order to distinguish both areas clearly.
f: Double-labeled section showing simultaneosly the terminal neuropil
formed by axons from the accessory olfactory bulb (green) and the
labeled cells in the medial amygdala and lateral amygdala that
project to the hypothalamus (red), confirming the vomeronasal input
to the medial amygdala. Scale bars 100 m. Image published in: Moreno N and González A (2004) Copyright © 2004. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, John Wiley & Sons.
