All claims for this connection- Species

- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Injecting cholera toxin B into the BLA retrogradely labelled PVT neurons, and a larger share of these labelled cells expressed c-Fos after a robot predator encounter.

- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“CTB injected into the BLA labeled PVT neurons, and robot exposure raised the share of these labeled cells that expressed c-Fos (Fig. 4G-H and its supplement).”
