CBN (Cerebellar nuclei) functionally connects to ILM (Intralaminar nuclei of the dorsal thalamus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: In slices, ChR2 stimulation of DCN axons evoked short-latency synaptic currents in intralaminar neurons. In CM/PF the currents were abolished by TTX and restored by 4-AP, showing they are monosynaptic, and they were also evoked in BLA-projecting CM/PF neurons labelled with CtB. Mean amplitudes were about 312 pA for the IL group, -197.5 pA in CM/PF and -104.1 pA in BLA-projecting CM/PF neurons.
Measurements: conduction delay: 2.5 ms (SEM 0.28)
conduction delay: 2.4 ms (SEM 0.18), n = 6
conduction delay: 3.35 ms (SEM 0.25), n = 8
