The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a cortical structure playing a role in various cognitive processes. In spite of many studies focusing on local information processing within the circuits of the BLA, the features of amygdalar principal neurons (PNs) remained elusive. Here, we combined neuroanatomical, electrophysiological and tracing techniques to determine the single-cell features, dendritic and axonal projections of PNs within the lateral (LA) and basal amygdala (BA). Using a mouse reporter line, we found that cholecystokinin (CCK) expression defined two groups of spatially segregated PNs bo
