Lateral and Basal Amygdala Account for Opposite Behavioral Responses during the Long-Term Expression of Fearful Memories

AUD (Auditory areas) UBERON:0001393 projects to LA (lateral amygdaloid nucleus) UBERON:0002886 · Rat

Several weeks after a CaMKIIa-driven eNpHR3.0-mCherry AAV was injected into Te2, mCherry-labelled Te2 axon terminals were seen in the lateral amygdala.

AUD (Auditory areas) UBERON:0001393 projects to BLA (basal amygdaloid nucleus) UBERON:0002887 · Rat

After the same Te2 AAV injection, labelled Te2 terminals were also observed in the basal amygdala, indicating a projection parallel to the one reaching LA.
