Relatively few data on the development of the amygdaloid complex are available only at the light microscopic level (1-3). The existence of just general morphological criteria requires the performance of other investigations in particular ultrastructural in order to obtain new and more detailed information about the changes in the amygdaloid complex during development.The prenatal and postnatal development of rat amygdaloid complex beginning from the 12th embrionic day (ED) till the 33rd postnatal day (PD) has been studied. During the early stages of neurogenesis (12ED), the nerve cells were observed to be closely packed, small-sized, with oval shape. A thin ring of cytoplasm surrounded their large nuclei, their nucleoli being very active with various size and form (Fig.1). Some cells possessed more abundant cytoplasm. The perikarya were extremely rich in free ribosomes. Single sacs of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were observed among them. The mitochondria were with light matrix and possessed few cristae. Neural processes were viewed to sprout from some nerve cells (Fig.2). Later the nuclei were still comparatively large and with various shape.

Substantial plasma 17-OH-CS elevations invariably occurred during electrical stimulation of the amygdaloid complex in unanesthetized rhesus monkeys through chronically implanted electrodes. No evidence of localization of this effect within anatomical subdivisions of the amygdaloid complex was observed. Stimulation of the amygdala elicited plasma 17-OH-CS elevations (20 µg %/hr.) equal to those occurring with hypothalamic stimulation or injection of a large dose of ACTH (16 mg/kg), while no elevations were observed during putamen stimulation or under normal conditions.
