Abstract:
A new concept is presented about the substrate of paleoamygdala--a complex of the gray matter located in the periventricular zone of the lower horn of the lateral ventricle at the territory of the posterior part of the phylogenetically ancient cortical-medial grouping of the amygdalar complex. The argumentation is based on results of cytoarchitectonical analysis, consideration of peculiarities of neuronal organization, regularities of ontogenesis, and the literature data characterizing results of hodological and functional investigations.

Collateral Ganglia
Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach the collateral ganglia along the route of splanchnic nerves. These nerves bypass the sympathetic trunk and communicate with sympathetic postganglionic neurons housed in the prevertebral ganglia. These ganglia supply the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity.
The greater splanchnic nerve, formed by the...
