Affecting long-term fear memory formation through optical control of Rac1 GTPase and PAK activity in lateral amygdala

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Fear conditioning, a behavioral model for studying fear-related disorders, is believed to be formed by alterations of synaptic efficacy mediated by changes in synaptic transmission and neuronal morphology in lateral amygdala (LA).

Hemispheric Lateralization of Pain Processing by Amygdala Neurons

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2009
Recent biochemical and behavioral data suggest right-hemispheric lateralization of amygdala functions in pain. Our previous electrophysiological studies showed pain-related neuroplasticity in the latero-capsular division of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeLC) in the right brain hemisphere. Here we determined differences in the processing of pain-

The amygdala as a neurobiological target for ghrelin in rats: neuroanatomical, electrophysiological and behavioral evidence. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Here, we sought to demonstrate that the orexigenic circulating hormone, ghrelin, is able to exert neurobiological effects (including those linked to feeding control) at the level of the amygdala, involving neuroanatomical, electrophysiological and ...

Sex Differences in the Role of Neurexin 3α in Zoster Associated Pain

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) induces orofacial pain and female rats show greater pain than male rats. During the proestrus phase of the estrous cycle the VZV induce pain response is attenuated in female rats.

Overexpression of Homer1a in the basal and lateral amygdala impairs fear conditioning and induces an autism-like social impairment

open access: yesMolecular Autism, 2016

Sex Differences in CGRP Regulation and Function in the Amygdala in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
The amygdala has emerged as a key player in the emotional response to pain and pain modulation. The lateral and capsular regions of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) represent the “nociceptive amygdala” due to their high content of neurons that ...

An adeno-associated viral vector transduces the rat hypothalamus and amygdala more efficient than a lentiviral vector

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2010
Background This study compared the transduction efficiencies of an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector, which was pseudotyped with an AAV1 capsid and encoded the green fluorescent protein (GFP), with a lentiviral (LV) vector, which was pseudotyped with a

A genetic link between discriminative fear coding by the lateral amygdala, dopamine, and fear generalization

open access: yeseLife, 2015
The lateral amygdala (LA) acquires differential coding of predictive and non-predictive fear stimuli that is critical for proper fear memory assignment.

Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in the Lateral and Central Amygdala

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003
Abstract: 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.

Effective connectivity of the amygdala during the consumption of erotic, sexual humor, and monetary rewards with a DCM-PEB approach

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
While a large body of research exists on the processing of monetary rewards, less is known about sexual reward processing. This study aimed to identify effective connectivity for the consumption of sexual (erotic and sexual humor) and non-sexual ...
