Chronic Stress Induces Hepatic Steatosis via Brain-Hepatic Sympathetic Axis Mediated Catecholamine Resistance

CEAm (Central amygdalar nucleus, medial part) MBA:559 projects to PVH (Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus) MBA:38 · Mouse

A retrogradely transported Cre-expressing AAV was placed in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus together with a Cre-dependent hM4Di-mCherry vector in the medial central amygdala; mCherry-labelled cell bodies appeared in CeM, showing that CeM neurons send axons to PVH.
