BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- Light activation of ChR2-expressing basolateral amygdala terminals in NAc shell slices elicited EPSCs in medium spiny neurons, including paired-pulse responses and responses to 1 Hz and 4 Hz stimulation, showing a glutamatergic amygdala input to NAc.

- Named in the paper
- “AMY (basolateral amygdala)” and “NAc shell”
- 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
“Optically evoked EPSCs in NAc MSNs from ChR2-expressing AMY terminals are shown in the cited panels.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
