- Evidence
- After injecting an AAV2 driving ChR2-YFP into the basolateral amygdala, labelled somata and processes were seen at the injection site and abundant YFP-positive axonal fibres were found in the accumbens shell, indicating anterograde transport of the fluorescent protein along the amygdala axons.
