CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) synapses onto CP (Caudoputamen)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Cre-dependent helper viruses plus EnvA-pseudotyped rabies-GFP targeted to cholinergic interneurons of the dorsomedial striatum in ChAT-Cre;D1-tdTomato mice labelled presynaptic neurons in the central amygdala, indicating a direct monosynaptic input onto striatal CINs. Labelling density in CeA was lower than in BNST (Mann-Whitney U = 4.000, p<0.001; 13 sections from 4 mice).
