BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Anterograde viral labelling of BLA CaMKII neurons revealed marked axonal eGFP in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.
Source: A network of basolateral amygdala projection neurons contributes to stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis

Named in the paper: “BLA” and “BST”
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
“BST was among the six regions with strong anterograde eGFP expression.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
