Electrical stimulation of thalamic afferent fibers in amygdala slices evoked monosynaptic EPSCs in BLA principal neurons; the NMDA receptor component was isolated with CNQX and picrotoxin at +40 mV and progressively blocked by MK-801 during repeated stimulation, with a faster decay constant in slices from stressed rats (control 33.47 ± 2.3, n = 12; stress 25.03 ± 2.03, n = 12), indicating higher presynaptic release probability at this thalamic input ten days after acute stress.
