CRF1 receptor activation increases the response of neurons in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala to afferent stimulation
The basolateral nucleus (BLA) of the amygdala contributes to the consolidation of memories for emotional or stressful events. The nucleus contains a high density of CRF1 receptors that are activated by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). Modulation of the excitability of neurons in the BLA by CR...
