MEA (medial amygdaloid nucleus) synapses onto PMv (Ventral premammillary nucleus)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: electron microscopy
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Immuno-electron microscopy showed axo-somatic synapses between urocortin 3-labelled boutons and immunogold-labelled nesfatin-1 neurons in the PMv. Confocal microscopy also showed synaptophysin-positive Ucn3 terminals on these neurons. The medial amygdala origin of the Ucn3 fibres is taken from earlier work, not traced here.

Named in the paper: “Ucn3-immunoreactive terminals, reportedly originating from the posterior medial amygdala (pMeA)” and “PMv nesfatin-1 neurons (ventral premammillary nucleus)”
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) disagrees, 2026-10-10
“The EM shows Ucn3 boutons synapsing on PMv nesfatin-1 neurons, but the medial amygdala as the source of those boutons is only cited from earlier work, not traced here, so the subject region is unsupported.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
