INHIBITORY SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSIONS TO THE BED NUCLEUS OF THE STRIA TERMINALIS NEURONS PROJECTING TO THE VENTRAL TEGMENTAL AREA ARE ENHANCED IN RATS EXPOSED TO CHRONIC MILD STRESS

Inhibitory synaptic transmissions to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis neurons projecting to the ventral tegmental area are enhanced in rats exposed to chronic mild stress
