BLAp (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, posterior part) functionally connects to ILA (Infralimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: In triplet recordings, train stimulation of cBLA fibres that reliably spiked IL layer 5 pyramidal tract neurons never produced action potentials in IL layer 5 or layer 2 cortico-amygdalar neurons (7 triplets, 4 animals), so cBLA does not functionally drive the reciprocal cortex-to-amygdala cells.
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex

Named in the paper: “cBLA” and “IL L5 CA and IL L2 CA (cortico-amygdalar) neurons”
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
“Triplet current-clamp recordings showed cBLA never spiked IL L5 or L2 CA neurons even when IL L5 PT fired, as the paper concludes.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
