BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to CA1 (Field CA1)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- In paired recordings of neighbouring retrogradely labelled vH neurons, light activation of pan-neuronal (and separately CaMKii-restricted) BA axons evoked excitatory currents at -70 mV in BA-projecting vH neurons; these were equal to those in neighbouring NAc-projecting cells and much larger than in PFC-projecting cells.
- Measurements
- connection probability: 1, n = 9

- Named in the paper
- “BA” and “vHBA neurons (BA-projecting vH neurons)”
- 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-5-5) disagrees, 2026-10-10
“The paper reports no connection probability of 1.0 for vHBA cells; the paired designs used 9, 8 and 10 pairs, so this number is unsupported.”
- Status
proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
