The main output (efferent) fibers of the amygdala:
- Ventral amygdalofugal pathway: longer pathway dives through septal region, brain stem, thalamus, hypothalamus, and finally into the sensory cortex.
- Stria terminals (very similar to the fornix in relation to the anterior commissure); it is divided into three parts in relation to the anterior commissure:
- precommissure fibers
- commissure fibers
- post commissure fibers
