- Evidence
- Cholera toxin B injected into the BLA retrogradely labelled many neurons in the infralimbic cortex, in both layer 2/3 and layer 5, with labelling described as dense and concentrated in superficial IL layers; of all labelled PFC cells, 38.2% were BLA-labelled and only 3.4% were double-labelled with NAc tracer. Retrobeads and a retrograde HSV-Cre placed in the BLA likewise labelled IL neurons that were then recorded or chemogenetically targeted.

- Named in the paper
- “IL” and “BLA”
- 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
“BLA retrograde tracing labelled IL neurons (38.2%, 3.4% double-labelled), matching the paper.”

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