Efferent and Afferent Connections of Neuropeptide Y Neurons in the Nucleus Accumbens of Mice

Efferent and Afferent Connections of Neuropeptide Y Neurons in the Nucleus Accumbens of Mice

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neural peptide distributed widely in the brain and has various functions in each region. We previously reported that NPY neurons in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) are involved in the regulation of anxiety behavior. Anterograde and retrograde tracing studies suggest that neuron...
