Chrimson was expressed in pPVT CaMKIIα+ neurons and GCaMP6s in CeA GABAergic neurons of VGAT-Cre mice; red-light stimulation of pPVT terminals within the CeA increased the calcium signal of CeA GABAergic neurons, with a larger area under the curve than in mCherry controls, indicating a predominantly excitatory functional connection.
