PB (Parabrachial nucleus) functionally connects to CEAm (Central amygdalar nucleus, medial part)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Eight of thirteen somatostatin-negative neurons in the medial central amygdala showed monosynaptic parabrachial EPSCs, with smaller mean amplitude (~64 pA) than paired SOM-positive cells.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.615, n = 13
Source: Spared nerve injury differentially alters parabrachial monosynaptic excitatory inputs to molecularly specific neurons in distinct subregions of the central amygdala

Named in the paper: “PBn” and “SOM− CeM neurons”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Eight of 13 SOM− CeM neurons responded (0.615), with a mean near 64 pA, smaller than paired SOM+ cells.”
