SUB (Subiculum) functionally connects to ACB (Nucleus accumbens)

Result

Method
optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Blue-light stimulation of ChR2-expressing vHIP terminals in NAc shell slices reliably evoked EPSCs in accumbens medium spiny neurons (including paired-pulse and 1 Hz/4 Hz trains), and the optically evoked currents were abolished by glutamate receptor antagonists, indicating a glutamatergic vHIP-to-NAc connection.
