The claims behind it

clm-ekdx3defh6presentanterograde tracerproposed

After injecting an AAV2 driving ChR2-YFP into the basolateral amygdala, labelled somata and processes were seen at the injection site and abundant YFP-positive axonal fibres were found in the accumbens shell, indicating anterograde transport of the fluorescent protein along the amygdala axons.

clm-kd99xskndapresentretrograde tracerproposed

Iontophoretic injection of the retrograde tracer fluorogold into the accumbens shell of rats produced retrogradely labelled cell bodies distributed throughout the basolateral amygdala one to two weeks later, showing that this amygdala region sends axons to the accumbens shell.
