The claims behind it

clm-7wkd6e4f3kpresentretrograde tracerproposed

Retrograde viruses (retroAAV-hSyn-mCherry or AAV11-hSyn-GFP) placed in dorsal CA3 labelled cell bodies in the BLA, showing that BLA neurons send axons to dCA3. The same retrograde strategy (retro-Cre in dCA3 with Cre-dependent GCaMP6m in BLA) was used for photometry of dCA3-projecting BLA neurons.

Labelled axons from BLA neurons transduced with ChR2-eYFP were also seen in the CA3 region of the ventral hippocampus in coronal sections.
