PL (Prelimbic area) functionally connects to Rat basal amygdaloid nucleus principal neurons

All claims for this connection
Species
Rat
Result
present
Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Blue-light activation of ChR2-expressing dorsal mPFC fibres near the stria terminalis evoked EPSCs in BLA principal neurons; these were abolished by TTX and restored by 4-AP (indicating monosynaptic transmission) and blocked by the AMPA antagonist DNQX, establishing a glutamatergic connection.
Measurements
  • conduction delay: 11.3 ms (SEM 0.7), n = 7
  • conduction delay: 11 ms (SEM 0.3), n = 10

“dmPFC” and “BLA principal neurons”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10

“TTX/4-AP and DNQX data plus latency values match the dmPFC monosynaptic glutamatergic input.”
