Anatomical interactions between the central amygdaloid nucleus and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of the rat: a dual tract-tracing analysis

CMF Prewitt, JP Herman�- Journal of chemical neuroanatomy, 1998 - Elsevier
Axonal connections between the amygdala and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus
were examined by combined anterograde-retrograde tract tracing. Iontophoretic injections of
the retrograde tracer Fluorogold were placed in the paraventricular nucleus, and the
anterograde tracer PHA-L in the ipsilateral central or medial amygdaloid nuclei. Single and
double-label immunohistochemistry were used to detect tracers. Single label anterograde
and retrograde tracing suggest limited evidence for direct connections between the central�…
