BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to VENT (Ventral group of the dorsal thalamus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
anterograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
EGFP-labelled axons but no somata were seen in the ventral thalamus of mice injected with the virus in the BLA, which the authors interpret as the ventral thalamus being an output target of the BLA.
Named in the paper
“basolateral amygdala (BLA)” and “ventral thalamus (vTH)”
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-5-5) disagrees, 2026-10-09

“The vTH axons were labelled by the retrograde AAVrg virus, not by an anterograde tracer, so the evidence type is wrong.”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
