Isocortex projects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Insular GFP axons innervated the lateral BNST. The ipsilateral side received axons in STLD, STLP and STLV, while the contralateral side received them only in STLD.

Named in the paper: “middle-posterior insula (DgI and GI)” and “bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST)”
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
“Ipsilateral axons occupied the STLD, STLP and STLV, and contralateral axons only the STLD (Fig. 1E).”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
