In PnC slices from GlyT2-Cre mice, blue-light stimulation of ChR2-expressing CeA fibres evoked facilitating EPSPs and EPSCs in tdTomato-labelled GlyT2+ neurons. AP5 and DNQX reduced these responses, and no light-evoked IPSCs appeared. Responsive cells lay medial to the 7th nerve or lateroventrally; midline and contralateral cells did not respond.
