Pulsed 20-Hz light delivered to ChR2-expressing ILSCm CaMKIIa neurons activated a subset of ipsilateral LA units at short latency, both in anesthetized and in freely moving mice. Stimulating ILSCm axon terminals in the LP also evoked short-latency LA responses, consistent with a route relayed through the LP.
