CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) projects to PRNc (Pontine reticular nucleus, caudal part)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: AAV-CamKIIα-eYFP injected into the CeA labelled largely VGLUT2+ neurons. Their axons coursed mainly ipsilaterally through the lateroventral PnC. In GlyT2-eGFP mice, CamKIIα-mCherry CeA fibres formed close appositions, many PSD-95-positive, onto GlyT2+ PnC neurons.
