paralaminar nucleus of the amygdala

paralaminar nucleus of the amygdala (AMGblpl)

The term paralaminar nucleus of the amygdala refers to a subdivision of the medial part of the basal amygdalar nucleus. It is one of two substructures distinguished on the basis of cytoarchitecture and cholinergic markers. The other is the parvicellular division of the basal nucleus (Amaral) ( Amaral-1992 ).

Also known as: paralaminar nucleus of the amygdala, superficial portion of medial part of basal amygdaloid nucleus (Lauer), ventral principal nucleus of amygdala, paralamellar basolateral nucleus

Models Where It Appears

Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.
