Intercalated cells of the amygdala mPFC) in both primates and rodents, which may explain cortical control over emotional regulation processes such as extinction. Intercalated cells of the amygdala The intercalated (ITC) cells of the amygdala are a group of GABAergic neurons situated between the basolateral and central nuclei of the amygdala that are important for inhibitory control over the amygdala. ITC cells are thought to play a role as the 'off switch' for the amygdala, inhibiting the amygdala's central nucleus output neurons and its basolateral nucleus neurons. Some researchers speculate that ITC cells, via their extensive local inhibition within the amygdala, could serve as a
Pinky and the Brain Labs research facility. Brain is self-centered and scheming, Pinky is good-natured but feebleminded. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world which ultimately ends in failure: usually due to Pinky's idiocy, the impossibility of Brain's plan, Brain's own arrogance, or just circumstances beyond their control.

Many of the "Pinky and the Brain" episodes occur in the 1990s at Acme Labs, located in some large American city underneath a suspension bridge. Several episodes
