NTS (Nucleus of the solitary tract) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Strength
weak
Evidence
Fluorogold injected into the BLA produced only very sparse retrograde labelling in the NTS, leading the authors to conclude that NTS reaches the BLA mainly indirectly through noradrenergic LC neurons.

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“The paper reports only scarce Fluorogold signal in the NTS after BLA injection and concludes the route runs mainly through the LC.”
