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

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: inhibitory
Evidence: Photostimulating ovBNST-projecting lateral posterior BLA principal neurons robustly suppressed firing of adBNST-projecting anterior BLA principal neurons, an effect dependent on GABA-A receptors.
