ILA (Infralimbic area) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: AAV2-CaMKIIa-ChR2-eYFP injected into the infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex produced eYFP-labelled axon terminals in the nucleus accumbens shell, where optical fibres were placed over the labelled terminal field.
