This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of this collaboration is to use electrophysiological and immunohistochemical techniques to identify characteristic physiological properties of interneurons of the basolateral amygdala based on their expression of cell-specific calcium binding proteins. In 2005 we continued to map the physiological properties of interneurons in the basolateral amygdala. We have now identified at least two subtypes of parvalbumin containing interneurons based on their distinct electrophysiological properties. This data was submitted for publication in the Journal of Comparative neurology. In addition, we have identified two further interneuron sybtypes, based on their electrophysiological characteristics. However, we have yet to determine the neurochemical content of these two subtypes of interneuron.
