COApl (Cortical amygdalar area, posterior part, lateral zone) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: A restricted injection in the posterolateral cortical amygdala produced sparse labeled fibers in the medial caudal accumbens core and only a few fibers in the shell.
