ZI (Zona incerta) synapses onto BMA (Basomedial amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Helper viruses (hSyn-Cre, DIO-RVG, DIO-TVA-EGFP) followed by pseudotyped G-deleted rabies virus injected into the basomedial amygdala produced DsRed-labelled presynaptic neurons in the zona incerta, confirming ZI input onto BMA neurons.
