Abstract
â¶There is a high density of neuropilar M2 immunoreactivity in the amygdala, especially in rostral portions of the basolateral amygdala. â¶A subset of M2+ nonpyramidal neurons that express GABA, somatostatin, and neuropeptide Y were observed in the lateral nucleus and adjacent external capsule. â¶Large spiny and large aspiny neurons associated with the intercalated nuclei were M2R+. â¶Many neuropeptide Y containing axons in the basolateral amygdala were M2R+. â¶Discrete subpopulations of M2R+ neurons were also seen in the central and medial nuclei.
