AI (Agranular insular area) projects to CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: eYFP-positive axons arising from CaMKIIa-expressing anterior insular neurons were also detected in the central amygdala, although the mean fluorescence intensity of these terminals was significantly lower than that measured in the basolateral amygdala.
Source: The anterior insula and its projection to amygdala nuclei modulate the abstinence-exacerbated expression of conditioned place preference

Named in the paper: “anterior insular cortex (aIC)” and “CeA”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“The paper states eYFP-positive axons from aIC were detected in CeA, at lower intensity than BLA.”

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