CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) projects to LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Although the lateral hypothalamus was examined as a candidate target, no tdTomato-labelled projections from NPY2R-positive CeA neurons were seen there.

Named in the paper: “NPY2R+ CeA neurons (central nucleus of the amygdala)” and “lateral hypothalamus (LH)”
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
“Paper states tdTomato expression was not observed in the LH, supporting an absent result.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
