Figure 3

Distribution of neurons projecting to the dorsal striatum and nucleus accumbens. (A,C) Deposits of Ctb or FG were delivered into the dorsolateral striatum (STR) or nucleus accumbens (acc; this was alternated across animals), as shown in these examples from sagittal sections. (B) Representative examples of retrograde labeling in the motor cortex (M1 ctx) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) following an injection in the dorsolateral striatum. (D) Representative examples of retrograde labeling in the prelimbic cortex (PrL ctx) and anterior thalamic nucleus (ATN) following an injection in the nucleus accumbens. (E) Mapping of retrogradely labeled neurons across the brain at two representative sagittal levels (lateral to bregma: 0.4 and 1.55 mm; each dot represent a positive cell body; FG, green; Ctb, red). Scale bars: (A,C) 1000 μm; (B,D) 200 μm; (E) 5000 μm.
