Retrograde virus injected into the BLA labelled locus coeruleus neurons, and in a separate experiment a retrograde Cre virus in the BLA combined with a TH-dependent construct in the LC allowed selective targeting of LC neurons projecting to the BLA; LC-labelled cells were c-Fos positive after both CS and US retrieval of remote fear memory.
