BLA (basal amygdaloid nucleus) functionally connects to CA1 (Field CA1)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: In anesthetized rats, 40-Hz blue-light pulses applied to ChR2-expressing BLA axons within the ventral hippocampus increased the firing of recorded ventral hippocampal CA1 neurons; when BLA cell bodies were stimulated with 473 nm light, simultaneous continuous 561 nm illumination of the BLA axons in VH (eArchT3.0) reduced this driven VH activity.
Source: Basolateral amygdala projections to ventral hippocampus modulate the consolidation of footshock, but not contextual, learning in rats

Named in the paper: “BLA” and “VH (layer CA1)”
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
“In vivo recordings show VH CA1 neurons excited by 40-Hz light on ChR2-expressing BLA axons, with eArchT inhibition reducing that drive.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
