Extended Data Fig. 6: Collaterals from hippocampus–NAc projecting cells.
From: Reward behaviour is regulated by the strength of hippocampus–nucleus accumbens synapses
Representative images of labelled hippocampal fibres. Hippocampal cells projecting to the NAc were labelled by injecting a retrograde virus expressing Cre recombinase into the shell of the NAc and a Cre-dependent virus containing YFP into the ventral hippocampus. Some collaterals are visible in the amygdala as well as the prelimibic and infralimbic regions of the PFC. Right: 100× image showing labelling of fibres. Scale bars, 50 μm. AC, anterior commissure; fmi, forceps minor of the corpus callosum. This was replicated in one other mouse.
