The basolateral complexes of the amygdala are a set of nuclei in the amygdaloid bodies which can be further subdivided[1][2][3] :

  • Lateral basal nuclei
  • Accessory basal nuclei


The centromedial nuclei are the main outputs for the basolateral complexes, and are involved in arousal in rats and cats.[2][4]
