TI  - Plasticity of intra-amygdaloid connections following the denervation of fibers 
      from accessory olfactory bulb to medial amygdaloid nucleus in adult rat: 
      immunohistochemical study of anterogradely transported lectin (Phaseolus vulgaris 
      leucoagglutinin).
PG  - 248-54
AB  - The rearrangement of the terminations of intra-amygdaloid fibers was examined in 
      the medial amygdaloid nucleus (MAN) following denervation of the fibers from the 
      accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) of adult rat using immunohistochemistry of 
      anterogradely transported lectin (Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin, PHA-L). The 
      AOB was removed unilaterally by suction at two months before the PHA-L injection. 
      The PHA-L was injected bilaterally into the posteromedial region of the amygdala 
      (posteromedial amygdaloid nucleus and amygdala-hippocampal transitional area). 
      After the tissue was processed by the routine immunohistochemical method, the 
      immunologically labeled axons and axon terminals in the MAN were observed with 
      the light microscope. On the control side, labeled axons were observed in the 
      cellular part of the MAN, but they were not found in the molecular layer in which 
      the fibers from the accessory olfactory bulb terminate. On the side of the AOB 
      removal, the labeled axons were found not only in the cellular part but also in 
      the molecular layer. Electron microscopic observations showed that the labeled 
      axon terminals made synaptic contacts in the molecular layer. These results 
      indicate that terminals of intra-amygdaloid fibers expand from the cellular part 
      to the molecular layer in the MAN and make synaptic contacts in this layer 
      following the denervation of the AOB fibers.
