CEA (central amygdaloid nucleus) functionally connects to PAG (Periaqueductal gray)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Rat
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- inhibitory
- Strength
- weak
- Evidence
- Photostimulation of ChR2-expressing CeA PKCδ+ fibres in the ventrolateral PAG evoked IPSCs (mean ~58 pA) in only a minority of recorded vlPAG neurons, which the authors describe as weak connectivity.
- Measurements
- connection probability: 0.31, n = 13

- Named in the paper
- “CeA PKCδ+ neurons” and “vlPAG”
- 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
“Optogenetic slice recordings gave IPSCs (57.8±25.4 pA) in 4/13 vlPAG neurons, described as weak connectivity.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
