- Evidence
- Cholera Toxin B conjugated to a red fluorophore injected into the nucleus accumbens retrogradely labelled a population of neurons in the basolateral amygdala, which the authors counted and compared with cFos labelling. In no-light controls about 11% of activated BLA cells were NAc-labelled, rising to roughly 37% after 10-Hz phasic LC stimulation.
