Synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala: a cellular hypothesis of fear conditioning
Fear conditioning is a form of associative learning in which subjects come to express
defense responses to a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS) that is paired with an aversive …

Memory consolidation of Pavlovian fear conditioning: a cellular and molecular perspective
Pavlovian fear conditioning has emerged as a leading behavioral paradigm for studying the
neurobiological basis of learning and memory. Although considerable progress has been …

Placing prediction into the fear circuit
Pavlovian fear conditioning depends on synaptic plasticity at amygdala neurons. Here, we
review recent electrophysiological, molecular and behavioral evidence suggesting the …

Optical activation of lateral amygdala pyramidal cells instructs associative fear learning
Humans and animals can learn that specific sensory cues in the environment predict
aversive events through a form of associative learning termed fear conditioning. This learning …

Anticipatory head direction signals in anterior thalamus: evidence for a thalamocortical circuit that integrates angular head motion to compute head direction
Several regions in the rat brain contain neurons known as head- direction cells, which fire
only when the rat's head is facing in a specific direction. Head-direction cells are influenced …

Neural substrates for expectation-modulated fear learning in the amygdala and periaqueductal gray
A form of aversively motivated learning called fear conditioning occurs when a neutral
conditioned stimulus is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (UCS). UCS-evoked …

[PDF][PDF] Hippocampal place cells acquire location-specific responses to the conditioned stimulus during auditory fear conditioning
We recorded neurons from the hippocampus of freely behaving rats during an auditory fear
conditioning task. Rats received either paired or unpaired presentations of an auditory …

The anatomical and computational basis of the rat head-direction cell signal
As a rat navigates through space, neurons called head-direction (HD) cells provide a signal
of the rat's momentary directional heading. Although partly guided by landmarks, the cells …

Putting fear in its place: remapping of hippocampal place cells during fear conditioning
We recorded hippocampal place cells in two spatial environments: a training environment in
which rats underwent fear conditioning and a neutral control environment. Fear conditioning …
