Prefrontal Cortex Drives Distinct Projection Neurons in the Basolateral Amygdala

Summary: The prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulates emotional behavior via top-down control of the basolateral amygdala (BLA). However, the influence of PFC inputs on the different projection pathways within the BLA remains largely unexplored. Here, we combine whole-cell recordings and optogenetics to st...
