AAV2-retro vectors placed in the central amygdala retrogradely labelled neurons in the anterior agranular insula, mostly in layers II and V, with these cells making up 58% of the labelled amygdala-projecting insular population and being more numerous in the ventral agranular insula. The same projection was targeted by injecting a retrograde Cre vector into the central amygdala together with Cre-dependent DREADD vectors in the insula.
