CEAl PKC-delta-expressing neurons projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
anterograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Strength
strong
Evidence
Cre-dependent mCherry or ChrimsonR-tdTomato expressed in PKCδ-positive central amygdala neurons produced labelled axon terminals in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, with moderate-to-dense labelling consistently present in all five brains examined.
