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
Blue light pulses on oChIEF- or ChrimsonR-expressing thalamic axons evoked field EPSPs recorded in the lateral amygdala of anesthetized mice; these responses were potentiated by high-frequency optical stimulation and were abolished by the AMPA receptor blocker NBQX and by TTX, showing a glutamatergic synaptic connection.
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

“In vivo light-evoked fEPSPs in LA from thalamic axons, abolished by NBQX/TTX, support an excitatory connection.”

Status

proposed

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