BLAa (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, anterior part) functionally connects to BLAp (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus, posterior part)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Optogenetic activation of adBNST-projecting anterior BLA principal neurons increased the spike rate of GABAergic interneurons recorded in the lateral posterior BLA.
