ACB (Nucleus accumbens) projects to PALv (Pallidum, ventral region)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Retrograde AAV-Cre injected into ventromedial VP, combined with Cre-dependent helper and rabies in the medial shell, yielded hundreds of starter cells in the dorsomedial shell, identifying shell neurons projecting to VP.

“The intersectional approach with retrograde Cre from ventromedial VP yielded about 690 starter cells in the dorsomedial shell, shown in Fig. 2.”
