MEZ (Hypothalamic medial zone) synapses onto BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
transsynaptic tracer
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Medial hypothalamic zone input cells to BLA axo-axonic cells co-expressed vGLUT2, marking them as excitatory.

Named in the paper
“MEZ” and “AACsBLA”
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

“MEZ input cells to BLA AACs were vGLUT2-positive, so excitatory.”

Status

proposed

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