Evidence
After perifornical CTb injection, retrogradely labelled amygdala neurons that were also Fos+ after seizures were concentrated in medial subnuclei, including CeA.

Named in the paper
“central amygdaloid nucleus (CeA)” and “perifornical nucleus”
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

“The paper lists CeA among the subnuclei where perifornical-projecting CTb/Fos cells concentrated, per Fig. 5D.”
