BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Anterograde tracing from the BLA showed labelled fibres in the nucleus accumbens, with a more widespread terminal field there than in the dorsomedial striatum.

Named in the paper: “BLA” and “NAc”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) is unsure, 2026-10-09
“The text states BLA inputs are more widespread in NAc than DMS referring to Fig. 2a, but the figure caption only describes amygdalostriatal tracing, so the NAc labelling cannot be confirmed from this text.”
