PL (Prelimbic area) projects to PAG (Periaqueductal gray)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: After green retrobeads were injected into the left vlPAG, labelled pyramidal neurons were found in the ipsilateral PrL cortex and used as PAG-projecting cells for recordings.
Source: Adolescent alcohol exposure promotes mechanical allodynia and alters synaptic function at inputs from the basolateral amygdala to the prelimbic cortex
