PG  - 156-62
AB  - The amygdaloid formation of the lizard Podarcis hispanica can be divided into 
      three main groups of nuclei on the basis of their input from the main and 
      accessory olfactory bulbs: the vomeronasal amygdala, the olfactory amygdala and 
      the dorsal amygdaloid group, the latter group receiving afferents from neither 
      the main (MOB) or the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). The vomeronasal amygdala 
      has a centrifugal projection to the AOB, an important commissural connection to 
      the contralateral vomeronasal amygdala, a minor projection to nucleus accumbens, 
      and a bilateral projection to the lateral cortex. The olfactory amygdala displays 
      a bilateral afferents from the MOB, receives a contralateral afferent, and is 
      reciprocally connected with the lateral cortex. Moreover, it receives an 
      important input from the vomeronasal amygdala. The dorsal amygdaloid group 
      receives projections from the other two amygdaloid groups, multimodal inputs from 
      the anterior dorsal ventricular ridge and the dorsal cortex, and a putative 
      cholinergic input from the basal telencephalon. Moreover, it is the site of 
      origin of a prominent bilateral amygdalo-striatal projection that extends to the 
      bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the so-called amygdalo-striatal 
      transition area, through which it may control both visceral and motor activities. 
      The main extratelencephalic output of the amygdala courses through the stria 
      terminalis and terminates in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus. The 
      extratelencephalic afferents of the amygdala arise from several hypothalamic and 
      anterior thalamic nuclei, from the mesencephalic and rhombencephalic aminergic 
      cell groups, and from the rhombencephalic parabrachial nucleus.
