BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to ILA5 (Infralimbic area, layer 5)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Optogenetic activation of BLA axons evoked excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents in IL layer 5 cortico-PAG neurons, with E/I ratio unchanged by nerve injury.
Source: Peripheral nerve injury reduces the excitation-inhibition balance of basolateral amygdala inputs to prelimbic pyramidal neurons projecting to the periaqueductal gray
