BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Retrograde AAV (AAV-retro-FLEX-mCherry) injected into the nucleus accumbens of NPY-Cre mice labelled numerous mCherry-positive somata in the basolateral amygdala, with more labelled cells in the posterior than anterior BLA; double staining showed most labelled cells were NPY-immunoreactive.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.808, n = 3
fraction of labelled neurons: 0.98, n = 3
Source: Neuropeptide Y neurons in the basolateral amygdala project to the nucleus accumbens and stimulate high-fat intake
