PB (Parabrachial nucleus) functionally connects to CEAl (Central amygdalar nucleus, lateral part)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Somatostatin-negative neurons of the lateral division of the central amygdala also showed monosynaptic light-evoked EPSCs from parabrachial axons, with amplitudes (~127 pA) statistically indistinguishable from paired SOM-positive cells.
Source: Spared nerve injury differentially alters parabrachial monosynaptic excitatory inputs to molecularly specific neurons in distinct subregions of the central amygdala

Named in the paper: “PBn” and “SOM− CeL neurons”
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-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“SOM− CeL EPSCs of about 127 pA did not differ significantly from paired SOM+ cells.”
