The claims behind it

Optogenetic activation of adBNST-projecting anterior BLA principal neurons increased the spike rate of GABAergic interneurons recorded in the lateral posterior BLA.

Photostimulating ChR2-expressing adBNST-projecting anterior BLA principal neurons reduced the firing of ovBNST-projecting lateral posterior BLA principal neurons; the suppression was abolished by the GABA-A antagonist picrotoxin, showing it is mediated by local interneurons.
