- Evidence
- Cre-dependent ChR2-eYFP expressed in D1-receptor neurons of the medial prefrontal cortex (prelimbic and infralimbic) of Drd1a-cre mice labelled axons that were prominent in the caudomedial basolateral amygdala. A Cre-dependent synaptobrevin-eGFP virus injected in the same prefrontal site produced punctate presynaptic labelling in the same amygdala territory, with puncta lying within 5 microns of CaMKII-positive cell bodies.

- 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
“ChR2-eYFP and synaptobrevin-eGFP anterograde labeling show prominent prefrontal D1 terminals apposed to CaMKII cells in mBLA.”
