VPMpc (Ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus, parvicellular part) projects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus)

- Evidence
- Anterograde labelling from Cck VPMpc neurons showed a weaker projection confined to the rostral lateral amygdala. Intersectional labelling of IC-projecting VPMpc neurons showed that these same cells also send collaterals to the LA.

- “CCKVPMpc neurons” and “rostral lateral amygdala (rLA)”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“The paper describes a weaker projection limited to the rostral LA (Fig. 6d, Supp. Fig. 11) and collaterals from IC-projecting cells to the LA (Fig. 7c).”

proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
