AUD (Auditory areas) functionally connects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: In slices, optogenetic stimulation of ChR2-expressing ACx terminals evoked EPSCs and spiking in LA neurons. Outward IPSCs followed at longer latency, indicating disynaptic inhibition.

Named in the paper: “auditory cortex (ACx)” and “lateral amygdala (LA)”
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
“Light stimulation of ChR2 ACx fibres evoked EPSCs and spikes in LA neurons, with longer-latency IPSCs, and the paper calls this input excitatory.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
