55390 Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis anteromedial areaNucleus accumbens strongPHAL
Many axons leave the rostral end of the dorsal BSTam to enter the nucleus accumbens directly, where a dense terminal field is established in the adjacent caudal (“septal”) pole (Figs. 5A',B', 9D).

55391 Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis anteromedial areaNucleus accumbens moderatePHAL
PHAL-labeled axons also generate a clear terminal field in dorsal and ventral regions of the accumbens “shell” (Fig. 9C), although many fewer axons extend into the more rostral shell region (Fig. 9A, B).

General description technique/protocol: The axonal projections and terminal fields displayed in experiment BST10 are analyzed in detail, because the injection site has the least contamination outside the limits of the BSTam and because the results are representative of the overall projection pattern observed from all regions of the BSTam. The vast majority of PHAL-labeled neurons in experiment BST10 lie rostrally and in the central core of the dorsal BSTam, with a very few PHAL-labeled neurons extending laterally into the adjacent BST anterolateral area (Figs. 1, 2A, 3).
