Abstract:
This investigation was aimed at the comparative analysis of the intensity of RNA precursor 3H-uridine incorporation in the neurons of nuclear, transitional formations and paleocortical structures of amygdala posterior division. Significant differences were detected in the label incorporation intensity in the neurons of piriform cortex as compared to that one in neurons of the medial portion of posterior cortical nucleus.

01:16Role of Amygdala in Memory
The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure responsible for processing and storing memories, particularly those linked to emotions like fear and stress. It plays an essential role in the brain's response to emotionally significant events and often enhances memory formation by triggering stress hormone release. The amygdala is vital for encoding and retrieving memories associated with fear or stress, a process that is adaptive by helping organisms avoid dangerous situations.

01:30Neuron Structure
Neurons are the main type of cell in the nervous system that generate and transmit electrochemical signals. They primarily communicate with each other using neurotransmitters at specific junctions called synapses. Neurons come in many shapes that often relate to their function, but most share three main structures: an axon and dendrites that extend out from a cell body.
