After expressing ChR2 in BLA neurons, blue-light pulses delivered through a probe in the mPFC evoked local field responses at a short latency (~5 ms after each pulse), appearing about 12 days post-injection; a second, longer-latency (~32 ms) component appeared later and was attributed by the authors to polysynaptic network activity within the mPFC.

Made by an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5, extract@0.3.0); a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees. “The paper records from and names only the mPFC, never the prelimbic area specifically, so the object region is narrower than the paper's own region.”
