[Structural-quantitative characterization of nuclear and screen-like formations in the anterior section of the amygdaloid body of the brain].

Cytoarchitectonics and planimetry of structures of amygdaloid body anterior region were investigated in view of A.A. Zavarzin concepts on nuclear and screen-type centres of nervous system. Amygdaloid body was shown to be a complicated heterogenous brain formation, the structure of which reflects both basic principles (nuclear and screen-type) of grey matter organization. Structural and quantitative characteristics of the amygdaloid body anterior region provides a confirmation for assumption that it is a nucleo-paleocortical brain component.
