BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: After oval BNST retro-AAV injection only a few labelled neurons were seen in the anterior BLA, in contrast with the many labelled cells in posterior BLA.

Named in the paper: “aBLA” and “ovBNST”
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
“Few aBLA cells were retrogradely labelled from ovBNST, matching a weak projection.”
