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 LTD2023Optogenetic Stimulation of Basal Forebrain Parvalbumin Neurons Activates the Default Mode Network and Associated Behaviors
Ralf Schneggenburger, Gregor Rainer, Michael Kintscher, Laura Lozano Montes, Jayakrishnan Harikrishnavilas Raveendran Nair
Activation of the basal forebrain (BF) has been associated with increased attention, arousal, and a heightened cortical representation of the external world. In addition, BF has been implicated in the regulation of the default mode network (DMN) and associ ...
CELL PRESS2020A VTA to Basal Amygdala Dopamine Projection Contributes to Signal Salient Somatosensory Events during Fear Learning
Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Wei Tang, Michael Kintscher
The amygdala is a brain area critical for the formation of fear memories. However, the nature of the teaching signal(s) that drive plasticity in the amygdala are still under debate. Here, we use optogenetic methods to investigate the contribution of ventra ...
