BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: BDA restricted to the medial anterior basal nucleus produced dense, patchy terminal fields in all accumbens divisions, very dense in the lateral half, plus weaker contralateral labeling.

Named in the paper: “Ba” and “Acb”
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 Ba injection gave dense patchy fields in all Acb divisions, very dense laterally, with low-density contralateral labeling.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
