CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) synapses onto AI (Agranular insular area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Rabies tracing showed more presynaptic neurons in the central amygdala for amygdala-projecting insular neurons than for accumbens-projecting insular neurons.

Named in the paper: “CeA” and “IC-CeA projectors”
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
“RV tracing showed greater CeA input to IC-CeA projectors.”
