CP (Caudoputamen) synapses onto BLA glutamatergic principal neurons

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: transsynaptic tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: Monosynaptic rabies tracing from BLA VGLUT2-Cre starter cells densely labelled input neurons in the caudate-putamen, which gave more input to VGLUT2+ than to PV+ BLA neurons.

Named in the paper: “caudate-putamen (CPu)” and “BLA VGLUT2+ glutamatergic neurons”
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
“CPu is a dense input to VGLUT2+ neurons and sends more to VGLUT2+ than to PV+ cells.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
