Differential activation of anatomically defined neuronal subpopulations in the amygdala during fear conditioning and extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The amygdala is a key structure of the neuronal circuitry mediating expression and extinction of conditioned fear. However, fear memories are thought to be encoded in a larger network comprising the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the ...

Fear conditioning- and extinction-induced neuronal plasticity in the mouse amygdala [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Experience-dependent changes in behavior are mediated by long-term functional modifications in brain circuits. To study the underlying mechanisms, our lab is using classical auditory fear conditioning, a simple and robust form of associative learning. In

Explaining the effectiveness of fear extinction through latent-cause inference

open access: yes, 2022
Acquiring fear responses to predictors of aversive outcomes is crucial for survival. At the same time, it is important to be able to modify such associations when they are maladaptive, for instance in treating anxiety and trauma-related disorders ...

Colonization During Colonialism: Developing a Framework to Assess the Rapid Ecological Transformation of Mauritius’s Pristine Ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The colonization of Mauritius exemplifies the role played by humans in altering the ecosystems of remote oceanic islands. This paper focuses on how we study those islands first colonized under the global mantle of colonialism.

Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Forestry decreases the amount of dead wood, thereby threatening the persistence of many saproxylic (wood-living) organisms. In this article, we discuss how targets for efforts to maintain and restore dead wood in managed forest landscapes should be ...

Escalator to extinction [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Thirty years ago, biologists began to predict how climate change would alter species’ ranges, extinctions, and their roles in ecosystems (1). Since then, evidence has begun to confirm these nascent predictions. The current global temperature rise of ∼1 °C has shifted species up mountains and latitudes (2), altered the timing of key life events such as ...
