- Evidence
- A Cre-dependent retrograde AAV expressing tdTomato was injected into the vlPAG of VGAT-Cre mice, and it labelled many GABAergic neurons in the central amygdala. About 85% of retrogradely labelled CeA neurons were tdTomato+, and about 15% of all labelled CeA neurons were double-labelled, meaning they also projected to the mPFC.
