The ultrastructure of neuron's perikaryons in Amygdala's dorsomedial nucleus of male and female rats at different stages of estrous cycle was investigated. The main functional stages were described. The characteristics obtained reflected the phenomenon of hormone-dependent functional reversion determined by changes in concentrations of sex steroids in blood.

Key words:  Amygdala's dorsomedial nucleus, ultrastructure, sex steroids
