TABLE 2.
Relative frequency of cell types seen in the anterolateral BNST of the rat from the recent sample and previously published papers (Hammack et al., 2007; Hazra et al., 2011; Rodriguez-Sierra et al., 2013).
| Type I (RS) | Type II (LTB) | Type III (fIR) | LF (also type III) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current sample | 29.5% | 40.2% | 30.3% | |
| Hammack et al. (2007) | 29% | 55% | 16% | |
| Hazra et al. (2011) | 11% | 66% | 21% | |
| Rodriguez-Sierra et al. (2013)b | 24.9% | 54.5% | 16.5% | 1.7%a |
The following are acronyms given by Rodriguez-Sierra et al (2013): RS =regular spiking; LTB =low-threshold bursting; fIR =fast inward rectification; LF =late firing.
a
These cells are most likely a part of the classification of Type III in our classification scheme.
b
From the anterior BNST, including the medial BNST and ventral BNST.
