ZI (Zona incerta) projects to BMA (Basomedial amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cre-dependent mCherry expressed selectively in tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells of the zona incerta (via TH-Cre plus DIO-mCherry injection) produced mCherry-labelled axon terminals in the basomedial amygdala, showing an anterograde projection from ZI TH+ neurons to BMA.
