The medial prefrontal cortex can affect BLA GABAergic system. The BLA neurons indirectly project to the CeA via GABAergic interneurons. Projections from CeA mainly target to the hypothalamus and brainstem involved in physiological and behavioral responses to stress. BLA, basolateral nucleus; CeA, central amygdala; BNST, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; LA, lateral amygdala.
