- Evidence
- Photostimulation (20 Hz) of ChR2-expressing D1 neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex raised Fos immunoreactivity in the ipsilateral medial basolateral amygdala relative to the contralateral side and to Cre-negative controls. Directly illuminating the prefrontal D1 axon terminals in the medial basolateral amygdala likewise increased Fos there on the stimulated side.

- “medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)” and “medial basolateral amygdala (mBLA)”
- 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
“Fos increases ipsilaterally in mBLA after mPFC D1 photostimulation and after terminal stimulation support the functional connection.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
