PL (Prelimbic area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Strength
strong
Evidence
Retrograde CTB deposited in the BLA labelled neurons in the prelimbic cortex as well as the IL, and fluorescent retrobeads injected into the BLA labelled PL pyramidal neurons that were subsequently patched, showing a PL source of BLA-projecting axons.
