BST (Bed nuclei of the stria terminalis) functionally connects to VMH (Ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus)

Species: Mouse
Result: present
Method: optogenetic circuit mapping
Sign: unknown
Evidence: Stimulating glutamatergic BNSTa axons generally failed to affect VMH core neurons; only one of 13 tested cells showed small (~2 mV) subthreshold EPSPs.
Measurements: connection probability: 0.077, n = 13
