AI (Agranular insular area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)
All claims for this connection- Species

- Result
- present
- Method
- retrograde tracer
- Sign
- unknown
- Evidence
- CTB injected into the BLA labelled aIC neurons, which were patched for intrinsic properties. CAV2-Cre injected into the BLA drove Cre-dependent expression in aIC neurons projecting to the BLA.

- Named in the paper
- “aIC” and “BLA”
- 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
“Both BLA CTB labelling of aIC neurons (Fig. 4h-k) and CAV2-Cre-driven expression in aIC-BLA neurons (Fig. 5g-h) are shown.”
