COApm (Cortical amygdalar area, posterior part, medial zone) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: BDA injected into the posteromedial cortical amygdala labeled fibers in the ventral accumbens core and sparse fibers across most of the shell. Dense terminal fields lay in the caudoventral lateral shell and the ventral medial shell.
