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

Result

Method
electrical stimulation
Sign
excitatory
Evidence
Chemogenetic silencing restricted to thalamo-LA projections (hM4Di expressed via CAV2-Cre from the LA plus Cre-dependent AAV in MGm, activated by CNO) lowered the amplitude of electrically evoked thalamo-LA EPSCs and altered paired-pulse ratio relative to controls, confirming a functional thalamic drive onto LA neurons.
