As well recognized, serotonergic (5-HT) fibers distribute widely throughout the forebrain, including the amygdala. Although a few reports have examined the 5-HT innervation of select nuclei of the amygdala in the rat, no previous report has described overall 5-HT projections to the amygdala in the rat. Using immunostaining for the serotonin transporter, SERT, we describe the complete pattern of distribution of 5-HT fibers to the amygdala (proper) and to the extended amygdala in the rat. Based on its ontogenetic origins, the amygdalar was subdivided into two major parts: pallial and subpallial components, with the pallial component further divided into superficial and deep nuclei. SERT+ fibers were shown to distribute moderately to densely to the deep and cortical pallial nuclei, but, by contrast, lightly to the subpallial nuclei. Specifically, (1) of the deep pallial nuclei, the lateral, basolateral and basomedial nuclei contained a very dense concentration of 5-HT fibers; (2) of the cortical pallial nuclei, the anterior cortical and amygdala-cortical transition zone, rostrally, and the posteromedial and posterolateral nuclei, caudally, contained a moderate concentration of 5-HT fibers; and (3) of the subpallial nuclei, the anterior nuclei and the rostral part of the medial (Me) nuclei contained a moderate concentration of 5-HT fibers, whereas caudal regions of Me as well as the central nuclei and the intercalated nuclei contained a sparse/light concentration of 5-HT fibers. Regarding the extended amygdala (primarily the bed nucleus of stria terminalis, BST), on the whole, the BST contained moderate numbers of 5-HT fibers, spread fairly uniformly throughout BST. The findings were discussed with respect to a critical serotonergic influence on the amygdala, particularly on the basal complex, and extended amygdala in the control of states of fear and anxiety. Transverse section mid-rostrocaudally through the amygdala showing the pattern of distribution of serotonin-immunoreactive (SERT-positive) fibers to nuclei of the amygdala. As depicted, SERT+ fibers terminate heavily in the anterior and posterior basolateral nucleus of amygdala (BLAa and BLAp), which contrasts with the sparse distribution to the central nucleus of amygdala, dorsomedial to BLA.
