Thalamus sends information about arousal but not valence to the amygdala

Christopher A. Leppla, Laurel R. Keyes, Gordon F. Glober, Gillian A. Matthews, Kanha Batra, Maya Jay, Yu Feng, Hannah S. Chen, Fergil Mills, Jeremy Delahanty, Jacob M. Olson, Edward H. Nieh, Praneeth Namburi, Craig P. Wildes, Romy Wichmann, , Kay M. Tye

The paper investigates the role of the MGN-BLA circuit in associative learning, finding that the MGN encodes arousal but not valence, while the BLA encodes both.
