PB (Parabrachial nucleus) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- ambiguous
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Besides TH-positive LC cells, Fluorogold injected in the BLA also back-labelled TH-negative neurons dorsal and ventral to the LC; the authors suggest these probably belong to the medial parabrachial nucleus, but their identity was not confirmed.

- Named in the paper
- “medial parabrachial nucleus” and “BLA”
- 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
“Fluorogold in BLA back-labelled TH-negative cells near LC that the authors only tentatively attribute to medial parabrachial, so ambiguous is apt.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
