A striatal circuit balances learned fear in the presence and absence of sensory cues
Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Michael Kintscher
During fear learning, defensive behaviors like freezing need to be finely balanced in the presence or absence of threat-predicting cues (conditioned stimulus, CS). Nevertheless, the circuits underlying such balancing are largely unknown. Here, we investiga ...
eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD2023Plasticity of sensory representations in the posterior insular cortex during fear learning
Aversively-motivated associative learning allows animals to avoid harm and thus ensures survival. Aversive learning can be studied by the fear learning paradigm, in which an innocuous sensory stimulus like a tone (conditioned stimulus, CS), acquires a nega ...
EPFL2023Fear Learning: An Evolving Picture for Plasticity at Synaptic Afferents to the Amygdala
Ralf Schneggenburger, Denys Osypenko, Shriya Palchaudhuri
Unraveling the neuronal mechanisms of fear learning might allow neuroscientists to make links between a learned behavior and the underlying plasticity at specific synaptic connections. In fear learning, an innocuous sensory event such as a tone (called the ...
SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC2022Learning Recruits Neurons Representing Previously Established Associations in the Corvid Endbrain
Crows quickly learn arbitrary associations. As a neuronal correlate of this behavior, single neurons in the corvid endbrain area nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL) change their response properties during association learning. In crows performing a delayed ass ...
