DR (Dorsal nucleus raphe) functionally connects to BLA glutamatergic principal neurons

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
absent
Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Unlike interneurons, basal amygdala principal neurons showed no fast glutamatergic EPSC to single light pulses activating raphe axons, indicating that glutamate-releasing 5-HT terminals do not contact these cells.
