38965 Central nucleus of amygdala lateral partNucleus accumbens very lightPHAL
Labeled axons from the CEAl do not appear to continue rostral to the BST, except for a few in the caudal tip of the nucleus accumbens (Fig. 2A).
Petrovich G.D., Swanson L.W., 1997
General description technique/protocol: In three experiments the PHAL injections labeled many neurons within the CEAl and two injection sites were confined entirely to this part of the CEAl, while one involved the ventral half of the CEAl and the adjacent CEAc. Projections labeled in Expt 12 (Fig. 1) are described in detail because the injection was restricted to the CEAl; the projection pattern is typical of that labeled in the other two experiments with an injection in the CEAL.
