PALv (Pallidum, ventral region) projects to Isocortex

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Anterograde tracing from VP cholinergic neurons showed robust axonal labelling in the prefrontal cortex, at about 17% of estimated projection density.
