BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) functionally connects to PL (Prelimbic area)
All claims for this connection- Species

- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- Photostimulating ChR2-expressing BLA terminals in PL increased cue-evoked freezing. Infusing the AMPA/NMDA antagonists NBQX+AP5 into PL abolished this effect, indicating glutamatergic transmission from BLA terminals within PL.

- “BLA” and “PL”
- Made by
- an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
- Checked by
a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09
“Stimulating BLA terminals in PL raised freezing, and blocking AMPA/NMDA receptors in PL abolished the effect, which supports glutamatergic, excitatory BLA-to-PL transmission.”
