BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Cholera toxin subunit B deposited in the nucleus accumbens retrogradely labelled BLA neurons; these accumbens-projecting cells showed less cFos after LC terminal stimulation than the hippocampus- or central amygdala-projecting cells.

- “BLA” and “NAc”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“CTB injected in NAc retrogradely labelled BLA neurons with lower cFos overlap than vHPC/CeA groups.”
