SI (Substantia innominata) projects to BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: modulatory
Evidence: A retrograde-serotype Cre-dependent eNpHR3.0-eYFP virus infused into the BLA of ChAT::Cre rats labelled eYFP-positive cell bodies in the NBM that were choline acetyltransferase positive.
