COApl (Cortical amygdalar area, posterior part, lateral zone) functionally connects to CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- ChR2-assisted mapping showed monosynaptic glutamatergic EPSCs, blocked by NBQX, in CEA neurons after stimulating COApl Esr1 terminals.
- Measurements
- connection probability: 0.75, n = 4

- Named in the paper
- “COAplEsr1 neurons” and “CEA”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Monosynaptic, NBQX-sensitive EPSCs were seen in 3 of 4 CEA neurons, which gives 0.75.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
