MGm (Medial geniculate complex, medial part) functionally connects to LA (Lateral amygdalar nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: electrical stimulation
Sign: excitatory
Evidence: Electrical stimulation of thalamic fibers in the internal capsule evoked glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents in principal neurons of the lateral amygdala in acute slices, with paired-pulse depression and stimulus-intensity-dependent amplitudes; these responses were reduced in 22q11DS model mice and the presynaptic release probability deficit was reversed by a Drd2 antagonist.
