BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) functionally connects to PL (Prelimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: In awake mice, optical stimulation of rBLA with 20 Hz trains changed the firing of a substantial share of single units recorded with silicon probes in PL: about a fifth of units in layer 2 and a fifth in layer 5 responded, with activation dominating in layer 2 and suppression dominating in layer 5.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.201
connection probability: 0.2
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex

Named in the paper: “rBLA” and “PL (L2 and L5)”
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
“In vivo Neuropixels data give 20.1% responsive PL L2 and 20.0% PL L5 units, with activation in L2 and suppression in L5, matching the stated fractions.”
