The claims behind it

clm-59rrwchv6epresentanterograde tracerstrength: strongproposed

Synaptophysin-mCherry expressed in AVPR1A CeA neurons labelled boutons in the dorsolateral striatum; this was the only target whose bouton density was significantly higher in females than males (P = 0.048).

Labelled CeAGA axons reached the dorsomedial striatum on both sides, with contralateral innervation sparser.

clm-qwvwep3yb9presentretrograde tracerproposed

EnvA-G-deleted rabies-mCherry injected into the DLS, and separately a retrograde AAV-DIO-Flp injected into the DLS, labelled Avpr1a-Cre neurons in the CeA, showing that these CeA neurons send axons to the dorsolateral striatum.
