CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) projects to MD (Mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: ChR2-EYFP-labelled axons from D2R-expressing CeA neurons were also found in the mediodorsal thalamus.

Named in the paper: “CeA (D2R-expressing neurons)” and “mediodorsal thalamus”
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) agrees, 2026-10-09
“ChR2-EYFP fiber labeling from CeA D2R neurons listed mediodorsal thalamus as a target.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
