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

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Subcellular mapping of rBLA axons under TTX/4-AP revealed no monosynaptic input to either the apical or the basal dendrites of PL layer 5 pyramidal tract neurons, and subthreshold stimulation of rBLA fibres evoked essentially no current in these cells; the authors conclude there is no direct rBLA to PL L5 PT connection.
Source: Rostral and caudal basolateral amygdala engage distinct circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic prefrontal cortex

Named in the paper: “rBLA” and “PL L5 pyramidal tract (PT) neurons”
Made by: an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-10
Checked by: a second AI model (claude-opus-5) agrees, 2026-10-10
“sCRACM showed no rBLA input to PL L5 PT dendrites and the authors state no monosynaptic connection exists.”
Status: proposed
Drafted and checked by AI models; it stays proposed until people have audited a sample of such claims.
