Hi Karen,Currently, the amygdala segmentation wouldn't necessarily cover the BNST (bed nucleus of the stria terminalis), which lies more dorsomedially and separated from the rest of the amygdala by white matter, CSF, & basal forebrain structures. BNST would probably be segmented as either Ventral DC or possibly cortex-unknown.

Does anyone know whether subcortical segmentation of the amygdala includes the "extended amygdala" (i.e. bed nucleus of the stria terminalis)?
Thanks,
