BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) projects to PL (Prelimbic area)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: A retrogradely transported AAV carrying Cre-GFP was placed in the prelimbic cortex together with a Cre-dependent Gi-DREADD-mCherry vector in the basolateral amygdala; mCherry-labelled amygdala cells confirmed that BLA neurons send axons to PL, and these cells could be chemogenetically silenced (verified by patch-clamp in Fig. S3).

“Retro-Cre in PL produced Cre-dependent mCherry expression in BLA (Fig. 5e left), and the text confirms patch-clamp silencing in Fig. S3, supporting a BLA-to-PL projection.”
