In vivo filled principal neurons in different LA and BA subnuclei with typical projection target sites. (a) Maps showing the LA and BA and the surrounding brain areas along 8 anteroposterior sections based on Allen Brain Mouse Brain Atlas (2011). The lateral subnucleus of the CEA (CEAl) is shown in green, while the medial and capsular subnuclei (CEAm + c) are shown in beige. (b,c). In vivo reconstructed small principal neurons in the LAa innervating the central amygdala (CEA) and the caudoputamen (CP) (Cell IDs: LAa-1 and LAa-2). (d) A reconstructed large principal neuron located in the LAp (Cell ID: LAp-4). (e) A CEA-avoiding principal neuron with soma location in the BAa (Cell ID: BAa-1). (f,g) CEA-projecting principal neurons with soma location in the BAp (Cell IDs: BAp-6 and BAp-10). In each column, a single in vivo filled and reconstructed principal neuron is shown along the anteroposterior axis of the amygdala. Axons are shown in red and dendrites in black. Scale bar: 500 μm. Distance from Bregma (Br) is shown in mm. See the List of Abbreviations for the identification of brain areas. All Cell IDs correspond to those listed in (Table 3).
