BMA (medial part of basal amygdaloid nucleus) projects to LZ (Hypothalamic lateral zone)

All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
CTb injected into the perifornical region retrogradely labelled amygdala neurons. CTb/Fos double-labelled cells in seizure rats were concentrated in medial subnuclei, including BMA.

Named in the paper
“basomedial amygdaloid nucleus, anterior part (BMA)” and “perifornical nucleus”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10

“After perifornical CTb injection, co-labelled cells were concentrated in the medial subnuclei, and the paper names BMA among them in the Fig. 5D distribution.”
