Table 3.
The co-expression pattern of calretinin (CR) neurons with VGAT and VGLUT2 in the amygdala of the guinea pig. Note that only half of CR-positive neurons co-express VGAT. Note also that the association of these cells with VGLUT2 is more extensive than that of parvalbumin-positive neurons. Data were expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM).
