Mapping the main output regions of CR neurons in the PIL
(A) A series of representative images showing CR projections from a CR-cre mouse injected with AAV2/9-CAG-FLEX-ArchT-GFP into the PIL, illustrating the principal projections of the PIL CR neurons (left image). Scale bar: 1.0 mm.
B and C) Enlarged view of Arch-GFP soma within PIL and GFP+ axon fibers in ZI, LA, Au, and CeA (B) and corresponding c-Fos expression after kindling-induced GS (C). Scale Bar: 200 μm. PIL, posterior intralaminar thalamic nucleus; Au, auditory cortex; LA, lateral amygdala; CeA, central amygdaloid nucleus; ZI, zona incerta.
