Extinction of Heroin Seeking Does Not Require the Infralimbic Cortex or Its Projections to the Nucleus Accumbens Shell or Amygdala

ILA (Infralimbic area) UBERON:8440033 projects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens) UBERON:0001882 · Rat

After AAV-CaMKIIα-eNpHR3.0-eYFP or eYFP injection into the infralimbic cortex, fluorescent virus-labelled IL axon terminals were seen in the nucleus accumbens shell beneath the optical fibre tip.

Viral eYFP expression from IL injections labelled IL terminals in the amygdala, including the capsular part of the central nucleus targeted by the optical fibres.

ILA (Infralimbic area) UBERON:8440033 projects to BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) UBERON:0006107 · Rat

Representative images showed virus-labelled IL terminals in the amygdala region including the basolateral amygdala near the fibre placement after IL viral injection.
