human_reference_atlas part of Homo sapiens amygdala nuclear complex of neuraxis amygdalohippocampal area AHA UBERON:0034673 HBA:4330 posterior amygdalar nucleus All authors regard it as occupying the caudal third of the amygdala, which abuts the hippocampal formation. In the human ( Mai-1997 ) and the macaque ( Amaral-1992 ) it is located close to the medial surface of the temporal lobe; it is bounded internally by the posterior cortical amygdalar nucleus and the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. In the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and mouse ( Hof-2000 ) it is bounded largely by the posterior cortical amygdalar nucleus and the accessory basal nucleus (known as the basomedial nucleus of the amygdala in rodents); the stria terminalis separates it from the ventricle. According to some authors the amygdalohippocampal area extends anteriorly to occupy the caudal half of the amygdala. These authors divide the area into two or three parts, which in the human ( Olmos-2004 ), the rat ( Paxinos-2009b ), and the mouse ( Franklin-2008 ) are named on the basis of location: anterolateral, posterolateral and posteromedial parts. In the macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ) the rostral portion of the area is divided into two parts on the basis of cellular morphology: magnocellular and parvicellular parts. Some authors refer to the area in rodents as the 'posterior amygdalar nucleus' ( Swanson-2004; Hof-2000 ).[neuronames:2028] amygdalohippocampal area posterior nucleus of the amygdala PBA:10135 DMBA:15945 AS FMA:77607 amygdalohippocampal area A cytoarchitecturally defined portion of the periamygdalar area and the cortical amygdalar nucleus at the caudal extreme of the amygdala. neuronames:2028 amygdalohippocampal transition area amygdalohippocampal area area periamygdalae caudalis ventralis area amygdalohippocampalis EMAPA:35128 Wikipedia:Amygdalohippocampal_area posterior nucleus amygdala MA:0002917 EMAPA:35124 area parahippocampalis DHBA:10377 amygdalo-hippocampal area uberon
