Fig. 1. The VLO innervates the dorsal striatum and BLA.

Fig. 1

(a) A representative BDA infusion into the VLO and a drawing of the targeted area are shown (distance from bregma and estimated regional boundaries based on (16)). (b) The VLO innervates the dorsomedial and central striatum along the rostrocaudal axis. (c) Coronal amygdala sections from (16) correspond to magnified depictions shown in (d). (d) Infusions of BDA into the VLO reveal innervation of the anterior BLA and the lateral wall of the posterior BLA, along with light innervation of the intercalated cell masses and moderate innervation of the dorsal endopiriform nucleus. Abbreviations: AIP-posterior agranular insular cortex; AIV-ventral agranular insular cortex; BLA-basolateral amygdala; Cl-claustrum; CPu-caudate putamen; CeA-central amygdala; DEn-dorsal endopiriform nucleus; I-intercalated masses; ic-internal capsule; opt-optic tract.
