MEA (medial amygdaloid nucleus) projects to LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: CTb injected into the lateral hypothalamus retrogradely labelled neurons in the ipsilateral amygdala, including the medial amygdala. A larger share of Fos+ medial amygdala neurons was CTb-labelled in seizure rats (about 33%) than in controls (about 12%).

“Retrograde CTb from the LH labelled ipsilateral amygdala neurons, and the results give the 33% vs 12% medial-amygdala figures.”
