NLOT (Nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: A lateral shell injection labeled cells in layers 2 and 3 of the nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract. Core injections labeled a few cells bilaterally in its layer 3.

“The lateral-shell injection labeled LOT layer 2 and layer 3 cells, and core injections labeled a few bilateral layer 3 cells.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
