Evidence
A Cre-dependent AAV expressing mCherry was injected unilaterally into the central amygdala of GAD2-Cre mice; three weeks later labelled somata were confined to the CeA while many labelled fibres/terminals appeared in the dorsal vagal complex, indicating an axonal projection from CeA GABAergic cells to the DVC.
