LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Core injections produced a dense, bilateral population of labeled cells in the anterior lateral nucleus, especially its dorsolateral part. Medial-shell-only injections left the lateral nucleus unlabeled, and a lateral shell injection labeled cells in the rostral ventrolateral part.

Named in the paper: “L” and “Acb”
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
“The described L labeling after core, medial-shell and lateral-shell injections matches the text.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
