BMAa (Basomedial amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: An injection in the rostral anterior accessory basal nucleus gave scarce accumbens labeling: fields in the dorsolateral caudal core and caudal lateral shell, and scarce fibers in the ventral medial shell.

“The ABa injection gave scarce Acb labeling in the dorsolateral caudal core, the caudalmost lateral shell and the ventral medial shell.”
