The paper uses single cell calcium imaging in mice to show that most CeA neurons encode valence of unconditioned stimuli, with a smaller subset encoding salience.

This study shows that recalling a positive reward-associated stimulus can suppress fear generalization in mice, involving dopamine and central amygdala mechanisms.

This study shows that Kv4.3 and BKCa1.1 ion channels regulate dopamine neuron firing and release on different time scales, influencing distinct phases of reinforced behavior in mice.

This study investigates the interaction between the dorsal periaqueductal gray and basolateral amygdala in rats during a predator threat task, finding that dPAG stimulation triggers fleeing and increases BLA activity.
