Abstract: The amygdala is an important part of the limbic system that is associated with mental disorders. The central nucleus and basal nucleus of amygdala both play vital role in condition fear,motivational reward,drug addiction and temporal lobe epilepsy. The fiber connection is the physiological basis for their neural function. Nowadays,the neurotropic viruses have become an effective tool for the investigation of the neuroconncetion. A new type of rabies virus(RV), being a reverse virus that cannot cross synapse, was used in this experiment, which ensures the specificity of the projection in our experimental results. The virus was injected into the central nucleus of amygdala. After 7 days,the brain slice was observed and many brain areas were labeled, including striatum,basal nucleus of amygdala,lateral nucleus of amygdala,interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure medial part,anterior amygdaloid area dorsal part and other part of amygdala,cortical regions et al. Our results show that the central nucleus of amygdala receives a wide range of direct nerve fibers projections from many brain regions which may indicate physiological function of amygdala.

Key words: central nucleus of amygdala, reverse projection, RV virus, neurotropic virus
