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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Retro-AAV-mCherry injected into the anterodorsal BNST labelled principal neurons in the posterior BLA as well as the anterior BLA, showing adBNST-projecting cells are spread along the antero-posterior axis.
