Afferents from the auditory thalamus synapse on inhibitory interneurons in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala.

Physiological studies suggest that afferents to the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) from the auditory thalamus initiate feedforward inhibition [Li et al. (1996b)]. This model of neural processing requires that thalamic afferents synapse directly onto inhibitory interneurons. To determine whethe...
