It is well established that stress has a major impact on memory, driven by the concerted
action of various stress mediators on the brain. Recent years, however, have seen …

The neuronal circuits of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) are crucial for acquisition,
consolidation, retrieval, and extinction of associative emotional memories. Synaptic plasticity …

Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

The last 10 years have witnessed a surge of interest for the mechanisms underlying the
acquisition and extinction of classically conditioned fear responses. In part, this results from …

Memory is essential to adaptive behavior because it allows past experience to guide
choices. Emerging findings indicate that the neurotransmitter dopamine, which signals …

Theta oscillations synchronize the basolateral amygdala (BLA) with the hippocampus (HPC)
and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) during fear expression. The role of gamma-frequency …

Over the past decade, fMRI techniques have been increasingly used to interrogate the
neural correlates of successful emotional memory encoding. These investigations have …

The amygdalar nuclear complex and hippocampal/parahippocampal region are key
components of the limbic system that play a critical role in emotional learning and memory …

The dopaminergic mechanisms that control reward-motivated behavior are the subject of
intense study, but it is yet unclear how, in humans, neural activity in mesolimbic reward …

Brain rhythms are activity fluctuations shared in populations of neurons. They are evident in
extracellular electric fields and detectable through recordings performed within the brain or …
