SNAPTIC ORGANIZATION OF THE BASOLATERAL AMYGDALA

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 这项合作的目的是使用电生理和免疫组织化学技术，以确定其表达的细胞特异性钙结合蛋白的基础上的基底外侧杏仁核的interneurons的特征生理特性。 在报告期内，我们继续研究5-羟色胺受体激活对BLA中中间神经元兴奋性的影响，并将我们的研究扩展到研究非人灵长类动物BLA中中间神经元亚型的相对分布。

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 purpose of this collaboration has been 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. During the reporting period, we continued our examinations of the effects of serotonin receptor activation on the excitability of interneurons in the BLA, and have extended our studies to examine the relative distribution of interneuron subtypes in the non-human primate BLA.
