CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cholera toxin B injected into the BNST of D2R-EGFP mice labelled CeA neurons, with roughly 59% of the EGFP-positive CeA cells also tracer-positive; DiI injections into BNST gave similar results.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.587, n = 3
Source: Dopamine D2 receptor-mediated circuit from the central amygdala to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis regulates impulsive behavior

“Text reports 58.7% of EGFP+ CeA cells were CTB+ after BNST injection in three mice, with DiI confirming.”
