Comparison of the activation of somatostatin- and neuropeptide Y-containing neuronal populations of the rat amygdala following two different anxiogenic stressors

► Ferret odor decreased activation of rat basolateral amygdala somatostatin neurons. ► Elevated plus maze increased activity of basolateral amygdala somatostatin neurons. ► Ferret odor decreased activation of central amygdala somatostatin neurons. ► Elevated plus maze increased activation of medial amygdala somatostatin neurons. ► Ferret odor increased activation of medial amygdala somatostatin and NPY neurons.
