Abstract

The amygdala is responsible for encoding valence, the biological value of aversive and rewarding stimuli; it plays a critical role in the formation and storage of emotional memories, assessment of threat-related stimuli, and fear consolidation. As a step toward identifying how specific cell populations contribute to these functions, we sought to systematically identify the cell types of the human amygdala, the genes (mRNAs) expressed by each cell type, and their relationships to cell types in mouse and marmoset amygdala.
