Basolateral amygdala to posterior piriform cortex connectivity ensures precision in learned odor threat

BLN (basolateral amygdaloid nuclear complex) UBERON:0006107 projects to Pir (piriform cortex) UBERON:0004725 · Rat

After AAV5-CaMKIIa-eArchT3.0-eYFP was infused into the BLA, YFP-labelled axon fibres from the BLA were seen within the posterior piriform cortex. Optical fibres were then aimed at these terminals in the pPCX.
