PL (Prelimbic area) projects to CEA (central amygdaloid nucleus)

Rat
Result
absent
Method
anterograde tracer
Sign
unknown
Evidence
In the same animals injected with the CaMKIIa-ChR2-mCherry vector in dmPFC, no mCherry labelling was detected in the central nucleus of the amygdala, indicating that dmPFC excitatory neurons do not project there.

Named in the paper
“dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC)” and “central nucleus of amygdala (CeA)”
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

“Same tracing experiment showed no mCherry label in CeA, supporting an absent projection.”
