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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Retrograde AAV injected into PL labelled neurons throughout the basolateral amygdala, and these PL-projecting cells were concentrated in the rostral portion of the nucleus along the anterior–posterior gradient (583 ± 59 cells per animal, 3 animals). The same bias was seen when PL and IL were injected at matched anterior-posterior coordinates in separate mice.
