BMA (Basomedial amygdalar nucleus) projects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After Cre-dependent ChR2-mCherry infusion into BM of Vgat-Cre mice, no anterogradely labelled axons were found in VMH, indicating GABAergic BM cells do not project there.
