PL (Prelimbic area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
retrograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
A retrograde AAV2/R expressing eGFP under a CaMKIIα promoter was injected into the BLA and labelled excitatory neurons in the PrL, most of which were CaMKIIα-positive; the labelled cells lay mainly in layer 2/3 and were largely separate from PAG-projecting cells.
Measurements
  • fraction of labelled neurons: 0.602, n = 20
  • fraction of labelled neurons: 0.264, n = 20

“PrL” and “BLA”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“Retrograde labelling from BLA gave 60.2% layer 2/3 and 26.4% layer 5 PrL excitatory neurons, matching the claim.”
