Morphological properties of BNST neurons

		Soma Diameter, μm
Cell Type	n	Maximum	Minimum	Number of Primary Dendrites	Distance to First Dendritic Branch from Soma, μm	Length of the Intervaricose Axonal Segments, μm*
RS (type-I)	13	19.2 ± 1.1	10.2 ± 0.6	2.8 ± 0.3	30.1 ± 5.6	4.4 ± 0.3
LTB (type-II)	39	19.7 ± 0.7	11.3 ± 0.4	3.2 ± 0.1	28.3 ± 2.2	5.1 ± 0.3
flR (type-III)	6	19.4 ± 2.2	9.9 ± 0.7	2.8 ± 0.2	32.5 ± 6.5	4 ± 0.1
SA	2	19.5 ± 4.5	9 ± 1	2.5 ± 0.5	13.2 ± 1.7	5

Values are means ± SE.

^*For this analysis, we only considered primary dendrites that could be seen to branch at least once.
