BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)
All claims for this connection- Species

- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- In accumbens slices containing SSFO-expressing BLA terminals, a 473 nm light train raised the frequency of spontaneous EPSCs in medium spiny neurons without changing their amplitude, and 590 nm light reversed the effect, showing a presynaptic BLA glutamatergic input to accumbens neurons.

- Named in the paper
- “BLA” and “NAc MSNs”
- 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
“SSFO stimulation of BLA terminals increased sEPSC frequency in NAc MSNs, reversibly, as in Fig. 3C–D.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
