Summary:To determine the precise localization of sex differences in the subregions of the nucleus medialis (NM) of the amygdaloid complex (AC), morphometric-stereological parameters in adult male and female rats were used. There were no significant differences in the investigated volume densities and numerical density of the anterior part of NM AC between male and female adult rats. Although, there were no significant differences in the volume density of cell nuclei and of cytoplasm, the investigation demonstrated that the posterodorsal subregion of NM of the rat showed sex differences in the volume density of the neuropil and in the numerical density of cells. These values were significantly greater in male than in female posterodorsal subregions of NM AC of adult rats.
