AI (Agranular insular area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated CTB injected into the amygdala, centred on the BLA, retrogradely labelled aIC neurons, mostly around layer 5. These cells formed a population separate from the thalamus-projecting neurons.

- Named in the paper
- “anterior insular cortex (aIC)” and “basolateral amygdala”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“CTB-488 injected into the amygdala (BLA per the supplement) labelled layer-5-biased aIC neurons separate from the thalamus-projecting population.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
