ARH (Arcuate hypothalamic nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Despite abundant NPY-expressing cells in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus, no retrogradely labelled mCherry-positive somata were found there after accumbens injection of the retrograde Cre-dependent AAV.
Source: Neuropeptide Y neurons in the basolateral amygdala project to the nucleus accumbens and stimulate high-fat intake

Named in the paper: “ARH” and “NAc”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10

“The paper explicitly reports no mCherry-positive cells in the ARH despite NPY cells there.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
