BLAp (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, posterior part) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: AAV-vGluT1-mCherry in the posterior BLA produced densely packed terminal labelling in the oval subregion of dorsal BNST, measured as relative fluorescence intensity in four mice.
