LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to Intercalated cell GABAergic neurons

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
electrical stimulation
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
In mouse slices, stimulating the LA pathway gave monosynaptic glutamatergic responses in dorsal ITC neurons. STDP stimulation of this pathway produced LTD after weak but not strong fear conditioning, and the LTD depended on D4R.

Named in the paper
“lateral amygdala (LA)” and “dorsal ITC neurons”
Made by
an AI model reading the paper (claude-opus-5-5, extract@0.3.0), 2026-10-09
Checked by

a second AI model (claude-opus-5-5) agrees, 2026-10-09

“The authors summarize their own mouse slice work: STDP stimulation of the LA pathway gave monosynaptic excitatory input to dorsal ITC cells and D4R-dependent LTD after weak conditioning only, as the cited paragraphs and the Fig. 1A legend describe.”
