BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) synapses onto AI (Agranular insular area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Among subcortical inputs, the anterior basolateral amygdala contained more rabies-labelled neurons presynaptic to accumbens-projecting insular neurons than to amygdala-projecting ones.
Source: Insular cortical circuits as an executive gateway to decipher threat or extinction memory via distinct subcortical pathways

Named in the paper: “BLAa” 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
“RV tracing showed greater BLAa input to IC-NAc projectors.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
