37038 Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis posterior division transverse nucleusMedial nucleus of the amygdala posterodorsal part,sublayer b lightPHAL
Numerous BSTtr axons course through the caudal substantia innominata (in the ansa peduncularis) to enter the medial and capsular parts of the central amygdalar nucleus and the anterodorsal part of the medial amygdalar nucleus (Fig. 6I–O). All along the way, these fibers branch and generate abundant boutons, indicating that the BSTtr innervates densely all three regions.

37042 Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis posterior division transverse nucleusMedial nucleus of the amygdala posterodorsal part,sublayer b not presentPHAL
The BSTtr input to the posterodorsal medial amygdalar nucleus is similar to that from the BSTif—most terminals are restricted to layer c rostrally and tend to avoid layers a and b and caudal layer c (Fig. 6O,P).

General description technique/protocol: Finally, the BSTtr was heavily labeled in experiment BST100, with slight contamination in adjacent regions of the BSTif, BST anterolateral area, and substantia innominata (Figs. 1D,D', 2).
