ECT (Ectorhinal area) synapses onto AI (Agranular insular area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Ectorhinal cortex supplied rabies-labelled monosynaptic inputs to both amygdala- and accumbens-projecting insular neurons, with no difference between groups.
Source: Insular cortical circuits as an executive gateway to decipher threat or extinction memory via distinct subcortical pathways

Named in the paper: “ECT (ectorhinal area)” and “IC-CeA and IC-NAc projectors”
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
“Ectorhinal inputs appeared for both populations with no significant difference.”
