The central amygdala controls learning in the lateral amygdala. [PDF]

Nat Neurosci, 2017
Experience-driven synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala is thought to underlie the formation of associations between sensory stimuli and an ensuing threat.

Excitatory synaptic transmission in the lateral and central amygdala

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003
The amygdala plays a major role in the acquisition and expression of fear conditioning. NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity within the basolateral amygdala has been proposed to underlie the acquisition and possible storage of fear memories.

Modulation of instrumental responding by a conditioned threat stimulus requires lateral and central amygdala [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
Two studies explored the role of the amygdala in response modulation by an aversive conditioned stimulus (CS) in rats. Experiment 1 investigated the role of amygdala circuitry in conditioned suppression using a paradigm in which licking for sucrose was ...

Localization of glucocorticoid receptors at postsynaptic membranes in the lateral amygdala

Neuroscience, 2005
Glucocorticoids, released in high concentrations from the adrenal cortex during stressful experiences, bind to glucocorticoid receptors in nuclear and peri-nuclear sites in neuronal somata.

Lateral entorhinal cortex - amygdala microcircuit

, 2014
Emotionen sind essentiell um richtig auf Ereignisse zu reagieren. Wir wollten mehr über Hirnstrukturen lernen, die eine wichtige Rolle in der Verarbeitung von räumlichen Komponenten in einem emotionalen Kontext spielen.

Serotonergic control of GABAergic inhibition in the lateral amygdala. [PDF]

J Neurophysiol, 2020
Much evidence implicates the serotonergic regulation of the amygdala in anxiety. Thus the present study was undertaken to characterize the influence of serotonin (5-HT) on principal neurons (PNs) of the rat lateral amygdala (LA), using whole cell recordings in vitro. Because inhibition is a major determinant of PN activity, we focused on the control of

Diversity of interneurons in the lateral and basal amygdala [PDF]

npj Science of Learning, 2020
AbstractThe basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a temporal lobe structure that contributes to a host of behaviors. In particular, it is a central player in learning about aversive events and thus assigning emotional valence to sensory events. It is a cortical-like structure and contains glutamatergic pyramidal neurons and GABAergic interneurons.

A neuronal basis for fear discrimination in the lateral amygdala. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2018
Abstract In the presence of new stimuli, it is crucial for survival to react with defensive responses in the presence of stimuli that resemble threats but also to not react with defensive behavior in response to new harmless stimuli.

Intrinsic Circuits in the Lateral Central Amygdala [PDF]

eneuro, 2017
AbstractNetwork activity in the lateral central amygdala (CeL) plays a crucial role in fear learning and emotional processing. However, the local circuits of the CeL are not fully understood and have only recently begun to be explored in detail. Here, we characterized the intrinsic circuits in the CeL using paired whole-call patch-clamp recordings ...
