Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Unilateral injection of retrograde fluorescent nanobeads into the BNST of naive rats labelled neurons in the central amygdala. Some of the labelled neurons were also immunopositive for CCL2.

Named in the paper
“CeA” and “bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST)”
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

“Rats received retrograde nanobeads in the BNST, and labelled cells turned up in the CeA, some carrying CCL2 (Fig. 5A-D).”
