HPF (Hippocampal formation) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Viral expression of ChR2-eYFP under the CaMKIIa promoter in the ventral hippocampus labelled terminals in the nucleus accumbens shell, which were targeted by implanted optical fibres.
Source: A quadruple dissociation of reward-related behaviour in mice across excitatory inputs to the nucleus accumbens shell

Named in the paper: “ventral hippocampus (vHPC)” and “NAcSh”
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) agrees, 2026-10-09
“vHPC viral expression produced ChR2-eYFP terminals imaged in NAcSh, matching the claim.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
