Abstract excerpt
We have taken a genetic-based fate-mapping approach to determine the specific contributions of telencephalic progenitors to the structures that comprise the amygdalar fear circuit including the central (CA), lateral (LA), and basolateral (BLA) amygdala. Our data indicate that progenitors in the ventral pallium (VP) contribute projection neurons to the LA and BLA but not the CA. Rather, the CA appears to derive,...
