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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: When rBLA fibres were stimulated at intensities that made PL L2 CA neurons fire, PL L5 PT neurons showed large excitatory (-113 ± 24 pA) and inhibitory (508 ± 101 pA) currents, whereas subthreshold stimulation produced almost nothing (-9 ± 4 pA and 17 ± 5 pA; 8 pairs, 4 animals), indicating an indirect route through superficial layers.
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex
