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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: A unilateral Fluoro-Gold injection confined to the PnC retrogradely labelled CeA cell bodies ipsilateral to the injection. The labelled cells clustered near the dorsomedial border of the amygdalar complex.
Source: The amygdala modulates prepulse inhibition of the auditory startle reflex through excitatory inputs to the caudal pontine reticular nucleus
