BLAp (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, posterior part) functionally connects to PL (Prelimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: cBLA axon stimulation produced only very small monosynaptic excitatory currents in PL layer 2 cortico-amygdalar neurons (about six percent of the IL L5 PT amplitude; EPSC1 -31 ± 10 pA with trains), negligible inhibition, and never evoked action potentials in these cells (firing probability 0, 7 pairs).
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex
