BLA cholecystokinin-expressing interneurons synapses onto BLA glutamatergic principal neurons

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: electron microscopy
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Electron microscopy of randomly sampled boutons from biocytin-filled CCK/CB1 basket cells showed synapses onto somata and dendrites of BLA neurons. 32 of 54 synapses from 5 cells were on dendrites.

Named in the paper: “cholecystokinin and CB1 cannabinoid receptor-expressing basket cell (CCK/CB1BC)” and “principal cells (PCs) of the BLA”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“The EM analysis of randomly sampled CCK/CB1 basket cell boutons in mouse BLA reports 32 of 54 synapses on dendrites from 5 cells, matching the claim.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
