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

NeuroImage, 2022 Over the past two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have explored brain activation patterns during acute noxious stimuli. Whilst these human investigations have detailed changes in primarily cortical regions, they have generally not ...

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

A recurrent network in the lateral amygdala: a mechanism for coincidence detection [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2008 Synaptic changes at sensory inputs to the dorsal nucleus of the lateral amygdala (LAd) play a key role in the acquisition and storage of associative fear memory. However, neither the temporal nor spatial architecture of the LAd network response to sensory signals is understood. We developed a method for the elucidation of network behavior.

Molecular Pain, 2018 Nociceptive signals originating in the periphery are conveyed to the brain through specific afferent and ascending pathways. The spino-(trigemino-)parabrachio-amygdaloid pathway is one of the principal pathways mediating signals from nociception-specific

Data in Brief, 2020 Primary lateral sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are primarily associated with motor cortex and corticospinal tract pathology. A standardised, prospective, single-centre neuroimaging protocol was used to characterise thalamic, hippocampal and ...

Neuropeptide S-mediated facilitation of synaptic transmission enforces subthreshold theta oscillations within the lateral amygdala. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The neuropeptide S (NPS) receptor system modulates neuronal circuit activity in the amygdala in conjunction with fear, anxiety and the expression and extinction of previously acquired fear memories.

Modulating anxiety with extrasynaptic inhibition [PDF]
, 2014 Traumatic experiences and stress can lead to complex behavioral adaptations, including increased levels of anxiety and fear generalization. The neuronal mechanisms underlying such maladaptive behavioral changes are, however, poorly understood.

Amount of fear extinction changes its underlying mechanisms
eLife, 2017 There has been a longstanding debate on whether original fear memory is inhibited or erased after extinction. One possibility that reconciles this uncertainty is that the inhibition and erasure mechanisms are engaged in different phases (early or late ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2009 Synaptic plasticity in the amydgala is essential for emotional learning. Fear conditioning, for example, depends on changes in excitatory transmission that occur following NMDA receptor activation and AMPA receptor modification in this region. The role
