MG (Medial geniculate complex) projects to LA (lateral amygdaloid nucleus)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After AAV-oChIEF-tdTomato injection into the medial geniculate nucleus, labelled axons from the infected thalamic neurons were visible in the lateral amygdala, the site of optogenetic stimulation.
Source: High frequency optogenetic activation of inputs to the lateral amygdala forms distant association with foot-shock

Named in the paper: “medial geniculate nucleus (MGN)” and “lateral amygdala (LA)”
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
“MGN injection likewise produced labelled axons in LA shown in Fig. 1a, though AC and MGN labelling is combined in the LA image.”
