BMA (Basomedial amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: absent
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Blue light in VMH slices from Vgat-Cre mice with BM ChR2 infusions evoked no synaptic responses in 6 DM and 5 VL core neurons.
