In the ventral striatum, the densest terminations are found in the nucleus accumbens [….]. Collator note: the labeling of the ACB appears to be only in its rostral part. The terminal field extends into the caudoputamen. See Fig. 2C, Swanson Atlas Level 10.

Following FG injections into the medial shell, ventromedial parts of the subcommissural ventral pallidum contained numerous labeled cells (Fig. 5F, G). Collator note: dorsal substantia innominata is strongly labeled dorsally. See Fig. 5F-G, Swanson Atlas
