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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: CTB injected into the NAc retrogradely labelled many BLA neurons (roughly 430-490 cells/mm2), 93% of which (610/657) were glutamate-immunopositive; about 4% of these projection cells expressed c-Fos after restraint stress.

Named in the paper: “basolateral amygdala (BLA)” and “nucleus accumbens (NAc)”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“The BLA results give 428–488 CTB cells/mm2, 93.0% (610/657) GLU-4 positive and 4.0% c-Fos co-labelled, all retrograde from the NAc.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
