BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to CA1 (Field CA1)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- Light activation of basal amygdala axons expressing ChR2 under the synapsin promoter evoked short-latency currents at -70 mV in about 40% of recorded ventral hippocampal pyramidal neurons, and these currents were abolished by the AMPA receptor blocker NBQX (n = 9 neurons).
- Measurements
- connection probability: 0.4

- “BA (pan-neuronal hSyn-ChR2)” and “vH pyramidal neurons (CA1/proximal subiculum border)”
- 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-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“Excitatory currents at -70 mV appeared in about 40% of cells and were blocked by NBQX (n=9).”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
