ACA (Anterior cingulate area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: BLA-projecting neurons were retrogradely labelled in the dorsal mPFC, which includes the cingulate cortex, and were largely absent from layer 3.

Named in the paper: “cingulate cortex” and “basolateral amygdala (BLA)”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“BLA retrograde labelling reached the dorsal mPFC, cingulate included, with cells mostly missing from layer 3, which implies presence elsewhere.”
