SS (Somatosensory areas) synapses onto AI (Agranular insular area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Rabies-labelled presynaptic neurons were found in somatosensory cortex for both insular projection populations, with a trend toward more input onto amygdala-projecting insular neurons (P = 0.052).
Source: Insular cortical circuits as an executive gateway to decipher threat or extinction memory via distinct subcortical pathways

Named in the paper: “SS (somatosensory area)” and “IC-CeA and IC-NAc projectors”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“SS inputs were labeled for both, with a near-significant bias toward IC-CeA (P=0.052).”
Status: proposed
