The survival of animals is determined by their ability to cope with danger. As such, mechanisms regulating emotions such as fear and anxiety are crucial. The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a key structure involved in the regulation of those emotional processes. Within the BLA, excitatory principal neurons are responsible for the encoding and relay of emotionally relevant information to other brain structures while GABAergic interneurons, despite being a minority, tightly regulate their activity. Among the key interneuron classes, parvalbumin-expressing (PV) interneurons have been shown to be in
