BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) synapses onto CP (Caudoputamen)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: AAV1-Flpo injected into the basolateral amygdala, combined with AAV1-Cre in the orbitofrontal cortex and a double-dependent EYFP reporter in the dorsomedial striatum, produced EYFP-positive striatal neurons; no reporter signal was seen when only one recombinase virus was injected, showing that amygdalar axons transsynaptically label dorsomedial striatal neurons that also receive cortical input.

“BLA AAV1-Flpo was required with OFC Cre to label DMS neurons via the Cre-On/Flp-On reporter, supporting BLA-to-DMS transsynaptic input in mice as shown in Fig. 1.”
