sAMY (Striatum-like amygdalar nuclei) projects to PAG (Periaqueductal gray)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: tdTomato/ChR2 labelling of PAG-projecting amygdalar central-medial boundary neurons revealed dense axon terminal fields in the caudolateral PAG overlapping those of POAPAG neurons.
