TH (Thalamus) functionally connects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
In amygdala slices, optical activation of ChrimsonR-expressing thalamic axons evoked AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic currents in lateral amygdala neurons recorded in whole-cell mode (with GABA-A and NMDA receptors blocked); co-illumination with yellow light suppressed these responses.
Named in the paper
“thalamic inputs (Th)” and “lateral amygdala (LA)”
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

“Slice whole-cell recordings show light-evoked AMPA currents in LA from ChrimsonR thalamic axons.”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
