NTS (Nucleus of the solitary tract) projects to LC (Locus ceruleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After unilateral injection of an anterograde AAV (Ubi-GFP, or CaMKIIa-mCherry in a second cohort) into the NTS, labelled axons were seen in the locus coeruleus, apposed to NET-positive LC cells that had been retrogradely labelled from the BLA.
