The claims behind it

Electrical stimulation of the BL in slices evoked fixed-latency antidromic spikes in about a fifth of LA principal neurons, plus variable-latency polysynaptic IPSCs that were largely abolished by glutamate receptor blockade, consistent with recurrent recruitment of local LA interneurons.

Made by an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0); a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees. “The direction is reversed: the spikes were antidromic in LA axons projecting to BL, and the paper states LA-to-BL transfer is largely unidirectional, so BL is not shown to input LA principal cells.”
