COA (Cortical amygdalar area) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: BDA in the cortex-amygdala transition zone and lateral COAa labeled the accumbens along its whole rostrocaudal extent. It formed three main shell terminal fields and a dense field in the caudal core, bilaterally with ipsilateral dominance.
