- Evidence
- With ChR2 restricted to excitatory basal amygdala neurons by the CaMKii promoter, light evoked large currents at 0 mV in vH pyramidal cells that were completely abolished by NBQX, showing the inhibition was purely disynaptic feedforward inhibition driven by a glutamatergic BA input (n = 3 neurons).

- Named in the paper
- “BA (CaMKii+ excitatory projection)” and “vH pyramidal neurons”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees, 2026-10-10
“Fig 2F,G records NBQX-sensitive inhibitory currents at 0 mV, so it does not show a direct excitatory connection onto pyramidal cells; the sign is wrong for this evidence.”

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