MD (Mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cre-dependent ChR2-mCherry injected into the mediodorsal thalamus of CaMKII-Cre mice labelled axon terminals in the BLA at the optical fibre implantation site.
Source: Distinct basolateral amygdala excitatory inputs mediate the somatosensory and aversive-affective components of pain

Named in the paper: “MD” and “BLA”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09

“Anterograde tracing is only described in Methods and the Fig. 8B caption mentions only the fiber implantation site, so terminal labelling is not stated.”
