BLA glutamatergic principal neurons functionally connects to ENT (Entorhinal area)

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
In slices, blue-light stimulation of ChR2-expressing BLA terminals evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents in the great majority of recorded entorhinal cortex neurons (49 of 56), with no significant paired-pulse ratio change.
Measurements
  • connection probability: 0.875, n = 56
