CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to ZI (Zona incerta)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- inhibitory
- Evidence
- Optical stimulation of ChR2-expressing central amygdala terminals also elicited inhibitory postsynaptic currents in 8 of 15 VGAT-negative zona incerta neurons, with paired-pulse ratios indistinguishable from those of VGAT-positive cells.
- Measurements
- connection probability: 0.53, n = 15
