PIR (Piriform area) synapses onto BLA glutamatergic principal neurons

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Rabies-based retrograde monosynaptic tracing from BLA glutamatergic starter neurons revealed intensely labelled input neurons in the piriform cortex.
Source: Distinct basolateral amygdala excitatory inputs mediate the somatosensory and aversive-affective components of pain

Named in the paper: “piriform cortex” and “BLAGlu neurons”
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
“Results name piriform cortex as intensely labelled, though Fig. 4C actually depicts the IC.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
