- Evidence
- CaMKIIα-ChR2 in BLA with fibers over BLA terminals in ventral striatum: 15 Hz illumination reinstated avoidance after extinction (effects during the standard test were at ceiling and not significant), and ArchT silencing of BLA terminals in ventral striatum impaired avoidance, supporting a functional excitatory BLA-to-ventral-striatum input.

- Named in the paper
- “basolateral amygdala (BLA)” and “ventral striatum (VS)”
- 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) agrees, 2026-10-10
“BLA terminal activation in VS reinstated avoidance post-extinction and ArchT silencing impaired it, consistent with an excitatory BLA→VS input.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
