The claims behind it

clm-0nd9zqnv23presentelectrical stimulationproposed

In anesthetized adolescent rats, single-pulse electrical stimulation of the BLA at increasing intensities evoked local field potentials in the prelimbic cortex, and these responses were larger in maternally separated animals of both sexes than in controls.

clm-fc2f2kz6r3presentoptogenetic circuit mappingproposed

Photostimulating ChR2-expressing BLA terminals in PL increased cue-evoked freezing. Infusing the AMPA/NMDA antagonists NBQX+AP5 into PL abolished this effect, indicating glutamatergic transmission from BLA terminals within PL.
