PF (Parafascicular nucleus) synapses onto BLA glutamatergic principal neurons

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Presynaptic neurons labelled by monosynaptic rabies tracing from BLA glutamatergic neurons were found in the parafascicular thalamic nucleus.
