The claims behind it
AAV-driven ChR2-EYFP expression in the anterior cingulate cortex led to labelled axon terminals in the basolateral amygdala several weeks after injection.

Rostral cingulate injections labelled mainly the periventricular and inner intermediate strata of the medial basolateral subdomain, without clear superficial labelling.

CAV2-Cre injected into the BLA, combined with Cre-dependent eYFP in the ACC, labelled ACC neurons mainly in layer V on the same side, with fewer labelled neurons in the opposite ACC, in all five mice.

Expressing the presynaptic marker eGFP-Syb2 in caudal ACC neurons gave strong labelled terminals in the BLA in all three mice, making it the main amygdala target. Most Syb2 puncta in the BLA co-localized with VGLUT1 rather than VGAT.
