BLAv (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, ventral part) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Accumbens shell and core injections retrogradely labeled neurons in the region tentatively identified as the ventral basal nucleus.
