clm-577stsc631

CEA (Central amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to CL:0000617

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: inhibitory
Evidence: Post hoc staining of light-responsive BNST neurons showed that 7 of 10 cells with photostimulation-evoked IPSCs were VGAT-positive, indicating that GABAergic BNST neurons receive inhibitory CeA D2R input; IPSC amplitudes did not differ from VGAT-negative cells.
