BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) functionally connects to LHA (Lateral hypothalamic area)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Mouse
- Result
- present
- Method
- optogenetic circuit mapping
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- A minority of the synaptically connected LHA neurons (6 of 42) responded to optical stimulation of BNST axons with light-evoked EPSCs only; in the rare cells where evoked EPSCs persisted with TTX, 4-AP and gabazine, the AMPA-receptor blocker DNQX confirmed glutamatergic transmission.
