BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to ACA (Anterior cingulate area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Retrograde AAV injected into rACC labelled many ipsilateral BLA neurons, graded dense in young mice and in middle-aged males, with sporadic contralateral labelling; BLA was a major input component across all groups.
Source: Afferent and efferent projections of the rostral anterior cingulate cortex in young and middle-aged mice
