ILA (Infralimbic area) projects to MEA (medial amygdaloid nucleus)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: MeA tracer injections labelled infralimbic neurons in both hemispheres, scattered across all layers. Labelling was generally weaker than in Cg and Pl, graded weak to strong depending on age and sex group.
Source: The medial prefrontal cortex to the medial amygdala connections may affect the anxiety level in aged rats

“Infralimbic neurons were labelled bilaterally and scattered across layers, graded weak to strong and generally below Cg and Pl.”
