The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is one of the key brain areas involved in aversive learning,
especially fear memory formation. Studies of aversive learning in the BLA have largely …

Astrocytes are well known to scale synaptic structural and functional plasticity, while the role
in learning and memory, such as conditioned fear memory, is poorly elucidated. Here, using …

Astrocytes are key cellular regulators within the brain. The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is
implicated in fear memory processing, yet most research has entirely focused on neuronal …

The amygdala is one of the crucial brain structures for conditioned fear, in which conditioned
stimuli are received by the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA), inducing a fear …

Basolateral amygdala (BLA) is critical for fear learning, and its heightened activation is
widely thought to underpin a variety of anxiety disorders. Here we used chemogenetic …

The importance of astrocytes in behavior control is increasingly appreciated, but little is
known about the effects of their dynamic activity in regulating learning and memory. In the …

GABAergic signaling in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) plays a crucial role on the
modulation of the stress influence on fear memory. Moreover, accumulating evidence …

Background The amygdala can enhance emotional memory encoding as well as
anxiogenesis via corticotropin-releasing factor neurons. However, the amygdala's explicit …

Genetic variants in the human ortholog of acid-sensing ion channel-1a subunit (ASIC1a)
gene are associated with panic disorder and amygdala dysfunction. Both fear learning and …

Astrocytes respond to and regulate neuronal activity, yet their role in mammalian behavior
remains incompletely understood. Especially unclear is whether, and if so how, astrocyte …
