LP (Lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: CTB-488 injected into BLA retrogradely labelled neurons in LP. VPA mice had fewer labelled BLA-projecting LP neurons than saline mice.
