- Evidence
- Retrograde fluorescent nanobeads injected into the ventral periaqueductal gray were found in central amygdala neurons. Some of these back-labelled neurons were also CCL2-immunoreactive.

- Named in the paper
- “CeA” and “ventral periaqueductal gray (VPAG)”
- 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
“Nanobeads placed in the VPAG back-labelled CeA neurons, and some of those were CCL2-positive (Fig. 5E-H).”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
