BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) functionally connects to LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- inhibitory
- Evidence
- Photostimulating ChR2-expressing BST VGAT axons in LH slices evoked fast postsynaptic currents in identified MCH cells that reversed near the chloride equilibrium potential, consistent with direct GABAergic inhibition; mean amplitude about 118 pA.
- Measurements
- connection probability: 0.42, n = 19
- conduction delay: 3.39 ms (SEM 0.26), n = 8

- Named in the paper
- “BST VGAT neurons” and “LH MCH 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
“8 of 19 BST cells were connected, with latency 3.39±0.26 ms (n=8), about 118 pA amplitude and reversal near chloride, which fits GABAergic inhibition.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
