BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) projects to MEA (Medial amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Fluorescent labelling of Pnoc neurons and their axons in adBNST produced prominent distal fiber labelling in the medial amygdala (notably its posterodorsal portion), quantified as fiber density across target regions in six mice.

“MeA is one of the two regions where distal labeling was predominant, with posterodorsal MeA fibers imaged in Fig. 5E and density quantified in six mice.”
