LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Lateral nucleus injections produced the densest ventral striatal terminal field in the accumbens core, plus a conspicuous field in the ventral shell and a moderate-to-dense field in the midcaudal lateral shell. The dorsal medial shell was nearly unlabeled, and labeling was bilateral with ipsilateral dominance.

Named in the paper: “L” 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 described L-to-Acb pattern matches the text, including the unlabeled dorsal medial shell and bilateral, ipsilaterally dominant labeling.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
