AI (Agranular insular area) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Insular cortex contributed only a small share of CAV2-Cre inputs to medial adBNST, significantly less than to lateral adBNST.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.0025 (SEM 0.0004), n = 5
Source: Whole-brain input mapping of the lateral versus medial anterodorsal bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the mouse

Named in the paper: “agranular insular cortex (AI)” and “amBNST”
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
“AI is 0.25% (SE 0.04) in amBNST and significantly lower than in alBNST.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
