Distribution of axonal fibers form neocortical GABAergic projection neurons in case mRT218. Low (A) and high (B–F) magnification lightfield photomicrographs showing mCherry-immunoreactive fibers in selected sections after the injection of AAV-Ef1a-DIO-hChR2-mCherry mainly in the orbital cortex (A1). The mCherry-immunoreactive fibers were found in the lateral accumbens shell (A2,B), in the ventral CPu (A2–A5,B–E), in the ventral pallidam (A3,C), in the LGP (A3–A5,C–E), in the basolateral amygdala (A5,E), and in the substantia nigra (A6,F). Note that most of mCherry-immunoreactive fibers appear to travel below the LGP, although some beaded axonal fibers were also found in the ventral part of LGP. BLA, basolateral amygdaloid nucleus, anterior part; Rt, reticular thalamic nucleus; SNR, substantia nigra pars reticulata. Scale bars = 1 mm in (A); 200 μm in (B–F).
