Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Placing a stimulating electrode in the external capsule of coronal amygdala slices evoked monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic currents with stable latency and rise time in whole-cell recorded lateral amygdala principal neurons, recorded with GABA-A blockade (picrotoxin); current amplitude grew with stimulus strength and short-term plasticity could be probed with 20 Hz trains, with reduced maximal responses in Gdi1 mutants.
