BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
electrical stimulation
Sign
unknown
Evidence
BL stimulation at 100 µA made a subset of LA SOM-tdTomato interneurons fire; these were the cells with the lowest spike thresholds.
Measurements
  • connection probability: 0.455, n = 11

Named in the paper
“BL” and “SOM+ interneurons in the LA”
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) disagrees, 2026-10-09

“The paper uses BL stimulation to antidromically recruit LA principal neurons, so it does not establish BL as the source of input to LA SOM+ cells.”

Status

proposed

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