ILA (Infralimbic area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Intersectional labelling with CAV2-Cre in the BLA and Cre-dependent mCherry in the mPFC revealed BLA-projecting neurons, shown in the infralimbic cortex.

Named in the paper: “infralimbic cortex (IL)” and “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
“The same intersectional retrograde labelling, with Fig. 6e marking the infralimbic cortex in the mCherry images, supports BLA-projecting neurons there.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
