BMA glutamatergic principal neurons functionally connects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Light activation of ChR2-expressing glutamatergic BM axons evoked suprathreshold EPSPs from rest in every tested VMH core neuron (5 DM, 4 VL).
Measurements: connection probability: 1, n = 9
