BMA (medial part of basal amygdaloid nucleus) projects to AI (Agranular insular area)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: Retrograde tracer in the anterior insula produced only sparse cell labelling in the accessory basal nucleus.
Source: Basolateral amygdala activation enhances object recognition memory by inhibiting anterior insular cortex activity

Named in the paper: “accessory basal nucleus” and “agranular and dysgranular aIC”
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
“The aIC retrograde injection gave sparse cell labelling in the accessory basal nucleus, per the text and Fig. 3B caption.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
