Hippocampus, granular retrosplenial cortex (RSCg), and anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN)
interact to mediate diverse cognitive functions. To identify cellular mechanisms underlying …

The lateral central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA L) and the dorsolateral bed nucleus of the
stria terminalis (BNST DL) coordinate the expression of shorter-and longer-lasting fears …

The granular retrosplenial cortex (RSG) is critical for both spatial and non-spatial behaviors,
but the underlying neural codes remain poorly understood. Here, we use optogenetic circuit …

Acquisition and extinction of learned fear responses utilize conserved but flexible neural
circuits. Here we show that acquisition of conditioned freezing behavior is associated with …

Retrosplenial cortex (RSC) lies at the interface between sensory and cognitive networks in
the brain and mediates between these, although it is not yet known how. It has two distinct …

Adaptive fear responses to external threats rely upon efficient relay of computations
underlying contextual encoding to subcortical circuits. Brain-wide analysis of highly …

Considerable work emphasizes a role for hippocampal circuits in governing contextual fear
discrimination. However, the intra-and extrahippocampal pathways that route contextual …

The hippocampus is divided into dorsal and ventral zones along its principal axis. The
dorsal hippocampus is critical for learning and memory, yet the basic function of the ventral …

The acquisition and retrieval of contextual fear memory requires coordinated neural activity
in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and amygdala. The contextual …

The mediodorsal thalamic nucleus has been implicated in the control of memory processes.
However, the underlying neural mechanism remains unclear. Here we provide evidence for …
