Fear Memory Retrieval Is Associated With a Reduction in AMPA Receptor Density at Thalamic to Amygdala Intercalated Cell Synapses

TH (Thalamus) MBA:549 projects to STR (Striatum) MBA:477 · Mouse

ChR2-YFP-labelled PIN/MGm axons strongly innervated the amygdalostriatal transition area.

TH (Thalamus) MBA:549 projects to CEAl (Central amygdalar nucleus, lateral part) MBA:551 · Mouse

Labelled PIN/MGm fibres were essentially lacking in the lateral division of the central amygdala.

TH (Thalamus) MBA:549 projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) MBA:295 · Mouse

Few if any ChR2-YFP-labelled thalamic fibres were seen in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala after PIN/MGm injection.

TH (Thalamus) MBA:549 projects to IA (Intercalated amygdalar nucleus) MBA:1105 · Mouse

Anterogradely transported ChR2-YFP from the PIN/MGm injection produced dense labelled fibres in the dorsal medioparacapsular intercalated cell cluster.

TH (Thalamus) MBA:549 projects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus) MBA:131 · Mouse

After AAV-ChR2-YFP injection into the posterior intralaminar thalamus / medial part of the medial geniculate, YFP-labelled thalamic fibres densely innervated the lateral amygdala.

TH (Thalamus) MBA:549 synapses onto Intercalated cell GABAergic neurons nt-y231zwbxhf · Mouse

Freeze-fracture replica immunolabelling showed ChR2-YFP-labelled thalamic terminals forming asymmetric, AMPA receptor-containing synapses onto spines and dendritic shafts of mpITC neurons identified by mu-opioid receptor labelling on face-matched replicas.
