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

- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Synaptophysin-Venus labelling of tagged BLA neurons revealed terminals in the nucleus accumbens core, with denser labelling from neurons tagged during context exposure alone than from those tagged during context conditioning.

- Named in the paper
- “BLA” and “nucleus accumbens (NAc) core”
- 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
“Syn-Venus labeling shows BLA terminals in NAc core, heavier from CS-only tagged neurons.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
