Anterior BLA Rspo2-expressing principal neurons functionally connects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Optogenetic activation of Rspo2 axon terminals in the accumbens evoked fast glutamatergic EPSCs in tdTomato-negative (D2) medium spiny neurons, which were blocked by NBQX plus D-AP5.
Named in the paper
“BLA Rspo2 neurons” and “NAc D2 medium spiny 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) agrees, 2026-10-10

“Optogenetic stimulation of Rspo2 terminals evoked NBQX/AP5-sensitive EPSCs in D2 MSNs per Fig. 1J–L.”

Status

proposed

Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
