Rat central amygdala corticotropin-releasing hormone-expressing neurons projects to SNc (Substantia nigra, compact part)

Species: Rat
Result: ambiguous
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Labelled CRF axons from the CeL were seen in the dorsolateral substantia nigra pars compacta, but the authors judged these to be most likely fibers of passage en route to the brainstem.

Named in the paper: “CeL CRF neurons” and “substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc)”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Paper reports labelled fibers through dorsolateral SNc judged most likely fibers of passage, so ambiguous is apt.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
