MG (Medial geniculate complex) functionally connects to LA (lateral amygdaloid nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
electrical stimulation
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Bipolar electrical stimulation of the medial geniculate nucleus in anesthetized rats evoked short-latency spikes (onset <20 ms, presumed monosynaptic) in putative lateral amygdala projection neurons recorded extracellularly; stimulus current was titrated so that roughly half of 50 trials produced an evoked spike.

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-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“Methods and Results show that MGN stimulation evoked short-latency spikes in putative LA projection neurons at a titrated ~50% baseline, and the legends call these excitatory inputs.”
