An AAV expressing tdTomato was injected into the mPFC of adult female mice, and labelled axon terminals with branches and synaptic boutons were traced in the BLA. Branching and bouton density were higher in Pten+/− than in wild-type mice.

Made by an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0); a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) disagrees. “The AAV-tdTomato tracing supports mPFC to BLA, but the subject is mapped to the whole isocortex, which is broader than the mPFC the paper means.”
