clm-m5p6mhptn2

PA (Posterior amygdalar nucleus) functionally connects to BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: In slices bathed in TTX and 4-AP, laser photostimulation of AHiA ChR2 axons evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents in medial adBNST neurons recorded by whole-cell patch clamp.
Source: Whole-brain input mapping of the lateral versus medial anterodorsal bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the mouse
