BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After AAV9-Camk2a-TRAP injection into the anterodorsal/anterolateral/oval BNST, EGFP-L10a was expressed in Camk2a-positive basal amygdala neurons, indicating retrograde transduction of basal amygdala neurons innervating the BNST; TRAP of basal amygdala punches recovered mRNA with a higher Camk2a/GFAP ratio in the immunoprecipitate than in the supernatant, consistent with labelling of these Camk2a-positive projection neurons.
Source: A retrograde adeno-associated virus for collecting ribosome-bound mRNA from anatomically defined projection neurons

Named in the paper: “basal amygdala” and “bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST)”

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
