CLA (Claustrum) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: The same retrograde AAV injection in the nucleus accumbens of NPY-Cre mice produced a small number of labelled cell bodies spread through the claustrum.
Source: Neuropeptide Y neurons in the basolateral amygdala project to the nucleus accumbens and stimulate high-fat intake

“A few retrogradely labelled cell bodies were found throughout the claustrum, matching the weak strength.”
