Adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been implicated in cognitive processes, such as
pattern separation, and in the behavioural effects of stress and antidepressants. Young adult …

The neuronal circuits of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) are crucial for acquisition,
consolidation, retrieval, and extinction of associative emotional memories. Synaptic plasticity …

Anxiety-like behaviors in mice include social avoidance and avoidance of bright spaces.
Whether these features are distinctly regulated is unclear. We demonstrate that in mice …

observational fear (OF), is critical to survive in nature and function in society. OF can be …

Memories about sensory experiences are tightly linked to the context in which they were
formed. Memory contextualization is fundamental for the selection of appropriate behavioral …

The amygdalar nuclear complex and hippocampal/parahippocampal region are key
components of the limbic system that play a critical role in emotional learning and memory …

Emotions are temporally dynamic, but the persistence of emotions outside of their
appropriate temporal context is detrimental to health and well-being. Yet, precisely how …

How do we remember emotional events? While emotion often leads to vivid recollection, the

Despite a wealth of clinical and preclinical data implicating the serotonin (5-HT) system in
fear-related affective disorders, a precise definition of this neuromodulator's role in fear …

Learned fear and safety are associated with distinct oscillatory states in the basolateral
amygdala (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). To determine if and how these …
