CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Cre-dependent ChrimsonR-tdTomato expressed in NPY2R-positive CeA neurons of Npy2r-cre mice produced clear tdTomato-labelled fibers in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.
Source: Activation of NPY2R-expressing amygdala neurons inhibits itch behavior in mice without lateralization

Named in the paper: “NPY2R+ CeA neurons (central nucleus of the amygdala)” and “bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST)”
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
“BNST labelling from NPY2R+ CeA neurons is explicitly reported with Fig. 6A.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
