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 LTD2023Stimulation of medial amygdala GABA neurons with kinetically different channelrhodopsins yields opposite behavioral outcomes
Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Aiste Baleisyte
The medial amygdala (MeA) receives pheromone information about conspecifics and has crucial functions in social behaviors. A previous study showed that activation of GABA neurons in the postero-dorsal MeA (MeApd) with channelrhodopsin-2(H)(134R) (ChR2) sti ...
CELL PRESS2022Fear 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 ...
