MEA (medial amygdaloid nucleus) projects to LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: BDA injected into the medial amygdala labelled fibers and terminal boutons in the hypothalamus. These closely contacted, and sometimes encircled, seizure-activated orexin neurons.
