BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) projects to PL (Prelimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Anterograde virus injected at the rostral BLA coordinate produced labelled axons whose fluorescence peaked in layer 2 of PL (3 animals). A Cre-dependent version of the experiment, restricted to PL-projecting rBLA neurons, gave the same laminar profile.
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex
