The claims behind it

clm-n1qncfjymppresentoptogenetic circuit mappingproposed

Brief blue-light stimulation of ChR2-expressing insular cortex glutamatergic terminals in slices evoked postsynaptic currents in BLA neurons, and these currents were abolished by the AMPA-receptor antagonist DNQX, indicating a glutamatergic excitatory connection.
