CTX (Cerebral cortex) functionally connects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: electrical stimulation
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Stimulating cortical fibers in the external capsule evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents in lateral amygdala principal neurons; input-output relations and paired-pulse ratios of this cortico-LA pathway were indistinguishable between wild-type and Df(16)1/+ mice.
