Excitatory transmission at thalamo–striatal synapses mediates susceptibility to social stress

Postsynaptic remodeling of glutamatergic synapses on ventral striatum (vSTR) medium spiny neurons (MSNs) is critical in shaping stress responses. However, it is unclear which presynaptic inputs are involved. Susceptible mice exhibit increased synaptic strength at intralaminar thalamus (ILT), but not...
