VTA (Ventral tegmental area) projects to BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- anterograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Axon labelling from VTA dopaminergic neurons followed the cytoarchitectural boundary of the BLA. This included its anterior part as defined in the Allen atlas.

- Named in the paper
- “VTA (dopaminergic neurons, TH-Cre)” and “anterior part of basolateral amygdala (BLAa)”
- 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) agrees, 2026-10-09
“The Fig. 4C caption says VTA labelling matched the BLA boundary, explicitly including the anterior part.”
