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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Retrograde CAV2-Cre was injected into the BLA and Cre-dependent mCherry AAV into the mPFC. This labelled BLA-projecting neurons, which the figure shows in the prelimbic cortex.

Named in the paper: “prelimbic cortex (PrL)” and “BLA”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09

“CAV2-Cre in BLA combined with Cre-dependent mCherry in mPFC labels BLA-projecting neurons, and Fig. 6e shows that expression with the prelimbic cortex marked.”
