Rat central amygdala corticotropin-releasing hormone-expressing neurons functionally connects to CEA (central amygdaloid nucleus)

Species: Rat
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: inhibitory
Evidence: Optogenetic stimulation of CeL CRF terminals evoked picrotoxin-sensitive IPSCs in only 8 of 71 non-CRF CeM neurons, which were scattered across the CeM rather than clustered; IPSC amplitudes were comparable to those in CeL cells.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.113, n = 71
