All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Fluorogold injected into the nucleus accumbens retrogradely labelled neurons in the basolateral amygdala, which were then co-stained for c-Fos and for KOR mRNA, showing that BLA cells send axons to NAc.
