Proportions of cells with different firing phenotypes are shown for PKCδ+ and Som+ neurons in the capsular (CeC) and lateral (CeL) subdivisions of the central amygdala (CeA). Anterior is defined as the CeA between bregma −0.94 and bregma −1.34; middle as the CeA at bregma −1.46; and posterior as the CeA between bregma −1.58 and bregma −1.94. S = spontaneous; LF = late-firing; RS = regular-spiking; CeC = capsular subdivision of the CeA; CeL = lateral subdivision of the CeA.
