AI (Agranular insular area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cre-dependent ChR2-mCherry expressed in glutamatergic neurons of the insular cortex of CaMKII-Cre mice produced labelled axonal fibres in the BLA, where the optical fibre was placed.
Source: Distinct basolateral amygdala excitatory inputs mediate the somatosensory and aversive-affective components of pain
