Rat central amygdala corticotropin-releasing hormone-expressing neurons functionally connects to CEA (central amygdaloid nucleus)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: inhibitory
Evidence: Blue-light stimulation of ChR2-expressing CeL CRF neurons evoked IPSCs in 8 of 18 recorded non-CRF CeL neurons; the evoked IPSCs were nearly abolished by picrotoxin, indicating GABAergic local inhibition.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.444, n = 18

Named in the paper: “CeL CRF neurons” and “non-CRF CeL neurons”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“8 of 18 non-CRF CeL neurons showed GABAergic light-evoked IPSCs, though the ontology ID used elsewhere for CeM is confusing.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
