| BNSTAL-5HT neuron | Hammack et al. (Hammack) | In agreement with McDonald (1983), neurons of the BNSTAL had a characteristic oval soma (approximately 22 X 15 micrometers) from which emanated two to four primary spine-sparse dendrites. The length of the primary dendrites ranged from 126
to 50 micrometers. Unfortunately, full morphometric reconstruction on several of the recovered cells was not possible due to the loss of some of the dendritic arbor during tissue processing. Collator note: the distribution of these neurons are shown in a single figure (Fig.1 page 586). It was assumed that BNSTAL of Levita et al. may correspond with the rostral levels of BSTal and BSTad of Swanson-1998 (Atlas Levels 16-17). It is possible that BSTov is also included in the BNSTAL of Levita et al., but no indication of this was found in the text. | partial correspondence | | Collator note: see Figure 8 page 1796. Each physiological type BNSTALG is related to several types of the electro-chemical 5HT types. | Guo J.-D., Hammack S.E., Hazra R., Levita L.& Rainnie D.G. | Mihail Bota |

| BNSTAL-5HT (HYP) neuron | Hammack et al. (Hammack) | Collator note: neuron type defined on the physiological response when serotonin is applied in BNSTALG tissue.5-HT(Hyp) always has a hyper-polarization response. The distribution of this neuron type (population) is assumed to be within the boundaries of BNSTAL as defined in Levita et al. 2004. | partial correspondence | | Collator note: see Figure 8 page 1796. Each physiological type BNSTALG is related to several types of the electro-chemical 5HT types. | Guo J.-D., Hammack S.E., Hazra R., Levita L.& Rainnie D.G. | Mihail Bota |

| BNSTAL-5HT (HYP-DEP) neuron | Hammack et al. (Hammack) | Collator note: neuron type defined on the physiological response when serotonin is applied in BNSTALG tissue.5-HT(Hyp-Dep) has two components, that is, a membrane hyperpolarization immediately followed by a depolarization deflection. The distribution of this neuron type (population) is assumed to be within the boundaries of BNSTAL as defined in Levita et al. 2004. | different | | Collator note: see Figure 8 page 1796.
