MD (Mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: CTB-488 injected into the BLA retrogradely labelled neurons in the mediodorsal thalamus, identifying BLA-projecting MD neurons for recording.
Source: Distinct basolateral amygdala excitatory inputs mediate the somatosensory and aversive-affective components of pain
