AIp (Agranular insular area, posterior part) functionally connects to ENTm (Entorhinal area, medial part, dorsal zone)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: electrical stimulation
Sign: unknown
Evidence: In control ACSF, AiP-evoked activity did not reach the MEC in most slices. With GABAA receptors partly blocked by 1 uM bicuculline, AiP stimulation recruited the MEC last, after PER and LEC, in all slices and at all intensities.

Named in the paper: “agranular insular cortex (AiP)” and “medial entorhinal cortex (MEC)”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Under bicuculline, AiP stimulation reached the MEC last in all 11 slices and at every intensity tested, while control slices mostly showed no MEC response.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
