BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: inhibitory
Evidence: Photoactivating BLA ChR2-Venus axon terminals in BNST slices evoked inhibitory postsynaptic currents in recorded BNST neurons, which the paper interprets as an inhibitory input.
Source: Whole-brain input mapping of the lateral versus medial anterodorsal bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the mouse
