The two types of the amygdala, the basolateral and the basomedial are mentioned several times as well. This article focuses on the research stimuli of these parts and hippocampal infusions to test memory in rats. Not only is the study focused on stimuli and memory, but also tests whether or not emotions are affected. First the introduction of the hippocampus and amygdala, both basolateral and basomedial, and their functions are highlighted. Then the behavioral evidence for amygdalo-hippocampal interaction follows. Third and fourth key points are the neural projections from the amygdala to the hippocampus which leads to the hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTA). The fifth point of the article is modulation of hippocampal LTP by the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and basomedial amygdala (BMA). Last is the induction of hippocampal LTP by MeA, followed by the conclusion of the study in a
