The Role of Amygdala Cholecystokinin and Parvalbumin Expressing Neurons in the Acoustic Startle Reflex in Mice

Parvalbumin (PV) and cholecystokinin (CCK) proteins are found in the basolateral amygdala nuclei, particularly in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interneurons. PV+ neurons were localized to the basolateral amygdala and they expressed the GABA neuron marker glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). Here, we...
