BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: CTB placed in the nucleus accumbens labelled a dense population of BLA neurons biased toward the medial basal amygdala; density of accumbens projectors was higher than that of PrL, LH and VH projectors.
Source: A network of basolateral amygdala projection neurons contributes to stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis

Named in the paper: “BLA” and “NAc”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“NAc projectors were dense, mBA-biased, and exceeded PrL/LH/VH density as stated.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
