- Evidence
- Fluorogold deposited in the BLA of wild-type mice retrogradely labelled tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells in the locus coeruleus. In a second approach, red retrobeads placed in the BLA of Th-Cre mice that had received a Cre-dependent ChR2-eYFP virus in the LC produced cells containing both markers, identifying BLA-projecting catecholaminergic LC neurons.
