Description of part
Krettek and Price 1978. The basolateral complex of the amygdala is included here because it develops just superficial to the external capsule, which has often been misidentified in the region of the amygdala (see Atlas Levels 24-31). What we have called the amygdalar capsule is a fiber tract along the lateral border of this complex, and we suggest it is part of a fiber system within, and lateral to (for example, the extreme capsule) the subplate or deep cortex. Also see Swanson and Petrovich (1998) and Swanson (2003b).
