ILA (Infralimbic area) projects to BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: strong
Evidence: rAAV2-retro-Cre injected into the BLA of Ai9 or wildtype mice labelled many infralimbic neurons, which were densely distributed across all cortical layers.

“Retrograde labelling from the BLA showed dense infralimbic BLA-projecting cells across all layers.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
