ILA (Infralimbic area) projects to CEA (central amygdaloid nucleus)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: anterograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Strength: weak
Evidence: After injecting CaMKIIa-driven AAV carrying ChR2-EYFP or Cre-EGFP into the right infralimbic cortex, labelled axon terminals were visible in the laterocapsular central amygdala, although the authors note the IL-to-CeLC projection was not abundant.

Named in the paper: “IL” and “CeLC”
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
“Viral CaMKIIα labelling showed IL terminals in CeLC, which the authors describe as not very rich.”
