- Evidence
- With eYFP expressed in aIC glutamatergic neurons, the BLA held the densest axonal labelling of all twelve targets and served as the normalization reference. Collateral mapping of aIC-BLA neurons with synaptophysin-mCherry showed the densest boutons in the ipsilateral BLA, plus substantial axons and boutons in the contralateral 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
“BLA is the densest aIC target and the normalization reference, and collateral mapping shows dense boutons in the ipsilateral and contralateral BLA.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
