- Evidence
- Dense eYFP-labelled axons from aIC glutamatergic neurons were seen in the nucleus accumbens core. aIC-BLA collaterals in ipsilateral NAc were comparable in density to the BLA, with dense synaptophysin-labelled contacts.

- Named in the paper
- “aIC” and “nucleus accumbens core (NAc)”
- 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
“Fig. 3 reports dense aIC axons in the NAc core, and aIC-BLA collaterals in ipsilateral NAc at density similar to the BLA, with dense synaptophysin contacts.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
