Serotonergic innervation and serotonin receptor expression of NPY-producing neurons in the rat lateral and basolateral amygdaloid nuclei

CL:0000850 synapses onto BLA (basal amygdaloid nucleus) UBERON:0002887 · Rat

Serial-section electron microscopy showed 5-HT-immunolabeled terminals directly apposed to and forming symmetric synaptic contacts (including one onto a somatic spine) with round and fusiform NPY-immunoreactive cell bodies in the basolateral nucleus.

CL:0000850 synapses onto LA (lateral amygdaloid nucleus) UBERON:0002886 · Rat

In dual-labeled ultrathin serial sections (immunogold-silver for 5-HT, DAB for NPY), serotonin-containing axon terminals made direct membrane appositions and small symmetric-type synapses onto NPY-immunoreactive somata in the lateral nucleus.
