MEA (Medial amygdalar nucleus) projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: CAV2-Cre tracing showed medial amygdala input to lateral adBNST. This input was much smaller than the medial amygdala input to medial adBNST.
Measurements: fraction of labelled neurons: 0.0251 (SEM 0.002), n = 7
Source: Whole-brain input mapping of the lateral versus medial anterodorsal bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the mouse

Named in the paper: “medial amygdala (Me AMG)” and “alBNST”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Me AMG is 2.51% (SE 0.20), described as a strong input yet much smaller than the amBNST share.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
