LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: ambiguous
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis was examined for LHA fibres near oxytocin cells, but the paper reports positive findings only for PVN and SON, so the BNST outcome is not stated.
Source: Distinct projections of PVN oxytocin neurons regulate the divergent defensive behaviors in response to social threat

Named in the paper: “LHA” and “BNST”
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
“BNST was surveyed but no result for LHA input is reported, so ambiguous is apt.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
