The present investigation attempts to define the main subdivisions of the central nucleus (CN) of the amygdaloid complex (AC) by some histological methods and stereological parameters. Since recent studies indicate that distinct neuropeptides and projections are associated with discrete portions of the central amygdaloid nucleus, a detailed investigation of the cytoarchitecture of the central nucleus should contribute to a better understanding of its combined structure and organization. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the rat central nucleus suggest that it consists of two main lateral and medial subdivisions. In addition, this is the first morphometric study that recognizes the differences in the investigated stereological parameters of the central nucleus lateral and medial subregions and sex dimorphism in the quantitative parameters of the lateral subregion of the rat central nucleus.
