Rat central amygdala corticotropin-releasing hormone-expressing neurons projects to SNc (Substantia nigra, compact part)

Labelled CRF axons from the CeL were seen in the dorsolateral substantia nigra pars compacta, but the authors judged these to be most likely fibers of passage en route to the brainstem.

Made by an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0); a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees.
