Schematic representation of the BLA projections to the entorhinal cortex, the location of the stimulating electrode in the perforant pathway and recording electrode in the dentate gyrus. There is a monosynaptic pathway between the amygdala and dentate gyrus. These structures communicate together via a relay pathway involving the entorhinal cortex. Abbreviations: GCL; granular cell layer, IML; inner molecular layer, MML; mid molecular layer, OML; outer molecular layer, DG; dentate gyrus, PP; perforant pathway.
