Development of the Human Amygdaloid Complex

The study of the development of amygdaloid nuclear complex is discussed here. The authors show: 1. The successive appearance of nuclei that gather into a composite body 2. The essential role played by the medial ventricular eminence 3. The movements of the amygdaloid complex which, rejected by the lenticular nucleus in full development, has no alternative but to stand in contact with the hippocampus. The head of the latter will also be blocked against the amygdala wall.
