The claims behind it

clm-f3fjj1ewabpresentanterograde tracerproposed

After an AAV-hSyn-EGFP injection into the BLA of C57BL/6J mice, many labelled axon terminals were found in the ACC.

clm-ref81ey03ppresentretrograde tracerstrength: strongproposed

Retrograde AAV injected into rACC labelled many ipsilateral BLA neurons, graded dense in young mice and in middle-aged males, with sporadic contralateral labelling; BLA was a major input component across all groups.

Anterograde Cre-dependent labelling of BLA NPY neurons also revealed GFP-positive axons in the anterior cingulate cortex.
