BMA glutamatergic principal neurons projects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Cre-dependent ChR2-mCherry virus infused into BM of Vglut2-Cre mice produced high reporter expression in axons throughout the VMH core.
