not knownbilateralvery strongstrongThe amygdalohippocampal area supplies strong afferents to many of the nuclei in the hypothalamus that contain high densities of neurons that express AR and ER (Canteras et al., '89; Simerly and Swanson, '86; Krettek and Price, '78), and itself contains a very high density of heavily labeled AR mRNA-containing cells. Collator note: this region would best correspond to the posterior nucleus of the amygdala. Compare Figure 2F page 80 with Atlas Levels 31 and 32.
