MPO (Medial preoptic area) projects to sAMY (Striatum-like amygdalar nuclei)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: GFP-labelled axons from PAG-projecting preoptic neurons were found in the amygdalar central-medial boundary zone, overlapping the cell bodies of AmgC/M-PAG neurons.
