Brown}, year = {2003}, journal = {None}, keywords = {lateral amygdala, amygdala, perirhinal, memory}, url = {http://cogprints.org/3067/}, abstract = {Whole-cell recordings from rat lateral amygdala (LA) revealed two populations of principal neurons, that have similar pyramid-like morphologies but differing in firing pattern: late-spiking (LS, 66\%) and regular-spiking (RS, 34\%). The presence of large numbers of LS neurons arguably supports recent suggestions that the LA should be considered to be a functional extension of perirhinal cortex.} }
