BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) functionally connects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Optogenetic activation of BLA projection neurons increased FOS in the dorsomedial subdivision of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, whereas the anterodorsal subdivision showed no significant increase.

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

“dmBST FOS rose with BLA stimulation while aBST was not among the significant regions.”

Status
