Rat central amygdala corticotropin-releasing hormone-expressing neurons projects to LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: Labelled CRF axons ran through the most lateral lateral hypothalamus within the nigrostriatal bundle along its full rostrocaudal extent; most appeared to be fibers of passage, with small branches extending medially into the LH, described as a minor projection.

Named in the paper: “CeL CRF neurons” and “lateral hypothalamus (LH)”
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
“Fibers in the most lateral LH with small medial branches, termed a minor projection.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
