BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) synapses onto BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Cre-dependent WGA-FLP expressed in PFC-innervated BLA neurons transferred FLP activity into BNST cells, which were then visualised with a FLP-dependent reporter, identifying BNST neurons postsynaptic to BLA axons.
