BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) functionally connects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: inhibitory
Evidence: Light activation of GABAergic BNSTa axons evoked IPSPs/IPSCs reversing near -66 mV in most Vgat-negative VMH core neurons, with smaller amplitudes than in shell cells and larger in VL than DM.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.91, n = 66
