CTX (Cerebral cortex) functionally connects to LA glutamatergic principal neurons

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: electrical stimulation
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Stimulating cortical fibres in the external capsule of acute slices evoked EPSCs in lateral amygdala principal neurons in juvenile and adult mice; under minimal stimulation, the excitatory drive onto these neurons increased with age.

“External capsule stimulation evoked principal-neuron EPSCs at both ages, and under minimal stimulation the drive shifted toward principal neurons in adults (p=0.02, Fig. 2C).”
