CEAl PKC-delta-expressing neurons projects to ZI (Zona incerta)
All claims for this connection- Species

- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- Cholera toxin B conjugated to Alexa 647 injected into the zona incerta of PKCδ-cre::Ai9 mice retrogradely labelled central amygdala neurons, about 19% of which were also PKCδ-tdTomato positive; these double-labelled cells lay in the capsular and lateral subdivisions.
- Measurements
- fraction of labelled neurons: 0.19, n = 2

- Named in the paper
- “CeA-PKCδ neurons (PKCδ-tdTomato)” and “ZI”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“CTB retrograde labeling shows ~19% of ZI-projecting CeA neurons are PKCδ-positive, n=2 mice.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
