--- 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.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: McNay given: Ewan C. honourific: Dr lineage: '' - family: Brown given: Thomas H. honourific: Dr lineage: '' date: 2003-07 date_type: published datestamp: 2003-07-16 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/30/67 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3067 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3067/1/LA_ms.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'lateral amygdala, amygdala, perirhinal, memory' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:19 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: None publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: | Beggs, J.
