PB (Parabrachial nucleus) projects to CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: A retrograde Cre-expressing AAV injected into the CeA, combined with a Cre-dependent mCherry AAV in the PBN, labelled CeA-projecting neurons across the rostrocaudal PBN, mostly confined to the external lateral subdivision. Retrobeads injected into the CeA also labelled PBN neurons that were then recorded.
