VENT (Ventral group of the dorsal thalamus) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
absent
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Retrogradely labelled cell bodies were rarely seen in the ventral thalamus after BLA injection of AAVrg-hSyn-EGFP; only EGFP-filled axons were present there, implying the ventral thalamus receives BLA output rather than providing input.
Named in the paper
“ventral thalamus (vTH)” and “basolateral amygdala (BLA)”
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-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“EGFP neurons were rare in the vTH, which contained only axons.”

Status

proposed

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