[NEUROENDOCRINE REPRODUCTIVE CENTERS OF CORTICOMEDIAL DIVISION OF THE AMYGDALA]
Abstract:
In this review for the first time systematized available in modern literature data, which characterize the structural and functional organization of the reproductive centers of corticomedial division of the Amygdala. Given information about physiological mechanisms of their involvement in the organization of sexual behavior, regulation of secretion and excretion of gonadotropines, influence on the processes of sexual maturation of organisms. Involvement of Amygdala in functional systems of the brain, which determine reproductive functions, predefined its participation in the processes of sexual differentiation of the brain. Important role in the implementation of reproductive functions plays the olfactory stimuli, which through the Amygdala switches to the centers of the pre-optic-hypothalamic region, which controls the secretion of gonadotropins and sexual behavior.

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.
