Figure 1.

Major inhibitory cell types in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). Intracellularly labeled GABAergic cells were sampled in slice preparations and reconstructed (dendrites in color, axons in black). Voltage responses to depolarizing and hyperpolarizing step current injections are shown for each example cell. Schematic (upper left panel) shows the different membrane domains of principal cells (PC) innervated by distinct interneuron types. NGFC, neurogliaform cells expressing NPY; SST, dendrite-innervating interneurons expressing somatostatin; PVBC, parvalbumin-containing basket cells; CCKBC, cholecystokinin-expressing basket cells; AAC, axo-axonic cells.
