- Evidence
- Cre-dependent AAV-mCherry injected into the NAc of NPY-Cre mice labelled many punctate fibres in the anterior and posterior LH. A synaptophysin-EGFP AAV also produced EGFP presynaptic puncta in the LH, so the authors conclude that accumbal NPY neurons project mainly to the LH.

- Named in the paper
- “NPY neurons in the NAc” and “lateral hypothalamus (LH)”
- 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
“Both the mCherry fibres and the sypEGFP puncta in the LH support an NAc NPY projection to the LH (Figs. 2 and 3).”
