Evidence
In brain slices from GAD2-Cre mice expressing ChR2 in CeA GABAergic neurons, brief blue-light pulses over CeA terminals in the dorsal vagal complex consistently evoked inhibitory postsynaptic currents in DVC neurons, and these currents were abolished by the GABA-A receptor blocker picrotoxin, showing a GABAergic inhibitory functional connection.
