The amygdala sends glutamatergic projections (green) from the basolateral nucleus (BLA) to mPFC (blue dashed box) pyramidal cells, and to mPFC GABAergic interneurons inhibiting mPFC pyramidal cells (feedforward inhibition). mPFC pyramidal cells send glutamatergic projections to GABAergic interneurons in the amygdala (intercalated cells, ITC) to control amygdala output from the central nucleus (CeA).
