AI (Agranular insular area) synapses onto BLAp (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, posterior part)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Rabies-based input mapping of ovBNST-projecting lateral posterior BLA neurons revealed labelled presynaptic cells in the agranular insular cortex, with a proportion differing from the anterior BLA population.
Source: Synergism between two BLA-to-BNST pathways for appropriate expression of anxiety-like behaviors in male mice

Named in the paper: “AI (agranular insular area)” and “lpBLA→ovBNST PNs”
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) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Insular inputs to lpBLA→ovBNST PNs were labelled and differed quantitatively.”
