PB (Parabrachial nucleus) functionally connects to CEAl somatostatin-expressing neurons

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Optogenetic activation of PBN axon terminals in CeA slices from Sst-cre::Ai9 mice produced light-evoked EPSCs in nearly all recorded somatostatin-positive laterocapsular CeA neurons, independent of their firing type.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.9, n = 10
Source: The parabrachial to central amygdala pathway is critical to injury-induced pain sensitization in mice

Named in the paper: “parabrachial nucleus (PBN)” and “CeA-Som+ neurons”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“The paper reports oEPSCs in 90% of 10 recorded CeA-Som+ cells after PBN terminal stimulation, independent of firing type, which supports an excitatory connection.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
