The aim of the project is to investigate the signaling paths involved in fear memory to predatory threats. Signaling paths related to corticosteroids, noradrenaline and glutamate are good candidates to be involved in mediating plastic changes in neurons in the lateral amygdala, a critical site to store fear memory. Moreover, previous studies have also shown the involvement of mTOR (mammal…
Recently it has been given emphasis on role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in processes related to aversive conditioning. The specific roles regarding emotional behavior and control of the autonomic nervous system seem to be associated with particular subregions of the mPFC. The activation of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and glucocorticoid (GR) in mPFC seems to be involved in s…
Recent technological advances open up causal investigation and specificity for the fast timescales of natural nervous system communication enabling an unprecedented level of hypothesis-testing precision. To understand how neural circuit activity controls behavior, experimental interventions should be performed with genetic, anatomical and temporal precision. Genetically encoded Ca2+ indic…
