ILA (Infralimbic area) functionally connects to Rat basal amygdaloid nucleus principal neurons

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Optical stimulation of ventral mPFC ChR2-expressing terminals produced EPSCs in BLA principal neurons that persisted in TTX plus 4-AP (about 81% of baseline amplitude, i.e. largely monosynaptic) and were eliminated by DNQX, showing glutamatergic input.
Measurements: conduction delay: 10.5 ms (SEM 0.4), n = 13
conduction delay: 12.4 ms (SEM 0.6), n = 13
Source: Chronic Ethanol Differentially Modulates Glutamate Release from Dorsal and Ventral Prefrontal Cortical Inputs onto Rat Basolateral Amygdala Principal Neurons

Named in the paper: “vmPFC” and “BLA principal 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
“vmPFC oEPSCs were ~81% preserved in TTX/4-AP, DNQX-sensitive, with the quoted latencies.”
