MPO (Medial preoptic area) functionally connects to sAMY (Striatum-like amygdalar nuclei)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- inhibitory
- Evidence
- In slices, optogenetic activation of ChR2-expressing POAPAG axon terminals evoked monosynaptic IPSCs (in TTX/4AP) in most recorded AmgC/M-PAG neurons, and these were abolished by gabazine; no EPSCs were seen.
- Measurements
- connection probability: 0.692, n = 13

- Named in the paper
- “POAPAG neurons” and “AmgC/M-PAG neurons”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“IPSCs were evoked in 9 of 13 cells (0.692) in TTX/4AP and were abolished by gabazine, with no EPSCs seen.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
