BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to PL (Prelimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Optogenetic activation of ChrimsonR-expressing BLA axons in the prelimbic cortex raised the calcium activity of local vGAT-Cre-defined GABAergic neurons recorded by fibre photometry, indicating that glutamatergic BLA input drives prefrontal interneurons.
Source: Medial prefrontal cortex neurons integrate amygdala and hypothalamic oxytocin signals to mediate stress-induced social alterations
