Evidence
Serial-section electron microscopy showed 5-HT-immunolabeled terminals directly apposed to and forming symmetric synaptic contacts (including one onto a somatic spine) with round and fusiform NPY-immunoreactive cell bodies in the basolateral nucleus.

Named in the paper
“5-HT-ir axon terminals (serotonergic afferents)” and “NPY-ir neurons in BL (basolateral nucleus)”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“The EM results and the Fig. 4 caption, which covers La and BL, report rat 5-HT-ir terminals apposed to and synapsing on NPY-ir somata, though the nucleus holding the spine example is not specified.”

Status

proposed

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