    Gq neuromodulation of BLA parvalbumin interneurons induces burst firing and mediates fear-associated network and behavioral state transition in mice

    Patterned coordination of network activity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is important for fear expression. Neuromodulatory systems play an essential role in regulating changes between behavioral states, ho...

    Experience-dependent resonance in amygdalo-cortical circuits supports fear memory retrieval following extinction

    Learned fear and safety are associated with distinct oscillatory states in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). To determine if and how these network states support the retrieval...

    Cellular and oscillatory substrates of fear extinction learning

    Davis et al. report that fear memories can be critically regulated by parvalbumin-expressing interneurons in the basolateral amygdala. Silencing these interneurons following fear memory extinction caused a reemer...

    The role of ovarian hormone-derived neurosteroids on the regulation of GABAA receptors in affective disorders

    Neuroactive derivatives of steroid hormones, neurosteroids, can act on GABAA receptors (GABAARs) to potentiate the effects of GABA on these receptors. Neurosteroids become elevated to physiologically relevant lev...

    The splicing regulator Rbfox1 (A2BP1) controls neuronal excitation in the mammalian brain

    The Rbfox family of RNA binding proteins mediate alternative splicing. Douglas Black and colleagues show that targeted deletion of the mouse Rbfox1 gene in the CNS alters splice isoforms of a subset of genes and ...
