The claims behind it

clm-nn8sbtzk7zpresentoptogenetic circuit mappingproposed

rBLA fibre stimulation under TTX/4-AP produced small but detectable monosynaptic excitatory currents in IL layer 5 pyramidal tract neurons (about nine percent of the amplitude seen at PL L2 CA cells, 8 pairs), together with inhibitory currents of similar size to those in PL; because these responses did not depend on PL L2 firing the authors attribute them to a direct rBLA projection to IL L5.

rBLA stimulation in vivo modulated roughly a quarter of IL layer 5 single units (mostly suppression, 14 percent suppressed, 9.9 percent activated) and a smaller fraction of IL layer 2 units.
