BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) projects to AI (Agranular insular area)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: After AAV2/1-CB7-mCherry injection into the BLA, many labelled axon terminals appeared in the agranular and dysgranular anterior insular cortex.
