The amygdala is an evolutionarily conserved brain region found in *** pieces of evidence over the past few decades strongly suggest that the amygdala is involved in a wide range of behavioral responses,including social,aggressive,and parenting behaviors[1,2].In particular,amygdala dysfunction in humans is associated with psychiatric and emotional disorders[3,4].Although intensive studies have been carried out to analyze the role of the amygdala in rodents,the anatomical structure of the amygdala has changed enormously between rodents and primates during evolution[1].Unlike in rodent brains,the basal and lateral amygdala(BLA)encompasses the major regions in the primate brain,compared to the central amygdala(CeA)and medial amygdala(MeA)[1,5].The developmental and regional gene profiling of the amygdala in rhesus monkeys was previously performed[6].However,the gene expression information acquired through single-cell resolution is still not available.
