- Evidence
- Synaptophysin-tagged anterograde labelling from middle plCoA showed terminals in the medial amygdala. Dual-color tracing found this projection densest from anterior plCoA, and Cre-dependent tracing showed both VGluT2+ and VGluT1+ plCoA neurons reach MeA, with a VGluT2+ bias.

“Anterograde, dual-color and Cre-dependent tracing all show the plCoA-to-MeA projection, densest from anterior plCoA and biased toward VGluT2+ neurons.”
