ACA (Anterior cingulate area) synapses onto IAM (Interanteromedial nucleus of the thalamus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: IAM was lightly labelled by anterograde transsynaptic virus from rACC, with fewer cells in middle-aged males.
