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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Optical stimulation of cBLA axons evoked monosynaptic glutamatergic currents that were much larger in IL layer 5 pyramidal tract neurons than in any other recorded cell type, mapped to perisomatic and basal dendrites, and drove nearly every stimulus to spike (firing probability 0.98 ± 0.02, 7 pairs). Responses were also larger at IL L5 PT than at neighbouring IL L5 cortico-amygdalar neurons.
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex

“Monosynaptic EPSCs, sCRACM maps and near-certain firing all show cBLA excites IL L5 PT neurons.”
