CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) synapses onto VTA (Ventral tegmental area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: The central amygdala contained rabies-labelled neurons presynaptic to VTA dopamine cells, contributing positively to the principal component that distinguished drug-treated brains.

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
“CeA is labeled from VTA DA starter cells and is a positive PC2 contributor.”
