CTX (Cerebral cortex) functionally connects to Rat lateral amygdaloid nucleus principal neurons
All claims for this connection- Species
- Rat
- Result
- present
- Method
- electrical stimulation
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- Stimulating cortical afferents in the external capsule evoked glutamatergic EPSCs in lateral amygdala principal neurons in rat slices. These EPSCs had AMPA and kainate receptor components that were blocked by NBQX, and they were potentiated after pairing with prior thalamic stimulation.
