BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: AAV-vGluT1-EYFP in the anterior BLA labelled axon terminals that were found almost only in the anterodorsal part of the dorsal BNST, quantified as relative fluorescence intensity in four mice.
Source: Synergism between two BLA-to-BNST pathways for appropriate expression of anxiety-like behaviors in male mice

“Anterograde labelling showed aBLA terminals almost exclusively in adBNST.”
