Chrimson expressed in CRF-Cre neurons of the BNST (injected together with CeA) allowed optical activation of their striatal fibres, which produced fast optically evoked IPSCs in cholinergic interneurons; TTX abolished and TTX+4-AP restored the response, and bicuculline blocked it, indicating a monosynaptic GABAergic connection.
