The claims behind it

clm-98fv8tb5x4presentretrograde tracerproposed

CTB-488 injected into the NAc retrogradely labelled neurons in the basolateral amygdala complex, with labelled projection neurons more numerous in the medial region (and more numerous in females than males); labelling was essentially confined to the hemisphere ipsilateral to the injection.

Some BLA neurons retrogradely labelled from the NAc also carried the CRHR1 reporter, indicating CRHR1-expressing BLA cells project to the NAc; in females a larger proportion of CRHR1 cells were NAc projectors than CeA projectors.
