BLA (Basolateral amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to LA glutamatergic principal neurons

All claims for this connection
Species
Mouse
Result
present
Method
electrical stimulation
Sign
unknown
Evidence
Electrical stimulation of the BL in slices evoked fixed-latency antidromic spikes in about a fifth of LA principal neurons, plus variable-latency polysynaptic IPSCs that were largely abolished by glutamate receptor blockade, consistent with recurrent recruitment of local LA interneurons.
Measurements
  • connection probability: 0.227, n = 22

“The direction is reversed: the spikes were antidromic in LA axons projecting to BL, and the paper states LA-to-BL transfer is largely unidirectional, so BL is not shown to input LA principal cells.”
