Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
CTB-488 injected into the NAc retrogradely labelled neurons in the basolateral amygdala complex, with labelled projection neurons more numerous in the medial region (and more numerous in females than males); labelling was essentially confined to the hemisphere ipsilateral to the injection.
