    Abstract:
    GABA-immunoreactive (GABA-I) elements (neuronal somata and neuropile) are detected in turtle Emys orbicularis and lizard Ophysaurus spodus in all structures of ventral and dorsal parts of amygdaloid complex (AC) considered as phylogenetic more ancient and younger, respectively by means of the immunohistochemical method. Their maximal quantity in the ventral section of AC is found in the lateral region, lesser--in the ventral, central and medial regions. Besides in lizards a specialized laminar distribution of GABA-I elements in n. sphaericus is observed. GABA-I neurons are also detected in structures of dorsal part in turtles and lizards against the background of the immunopositive neuropile of a moderate density. It is supposed that GABA-ergic innervation of AC is liable to considerable variations in connection with taxonomic, ecological and other factors.
