Ethanol effects on excitability of corticotropin‐releasing factor‐expressing neurons in the medial subdivision of the mouse central amygdala nucleus This paper describes data showing that in the central nucleus of the amygdala, exposure to acute ethanol is associated with decreased endogenous cellular excitability. We find this in spite of…
