This study examines how early dopamine elevation interacts with maternal separation in mice, showing sex-specific behavioral and hippocampal volume changes.

This study shows that stress and LC activation promote NE release in the BLA, disrupting vmPFC activity and impairing fear extinction.

The paper investigates hippocampal-prelimbic coupling during context-dependent extinction retrieval in rats and finds increased theta oscillation coherence and directional coupling between the dorsal hippocampus and prelimbic cortex.

This paper shows that theta-paced stimulation of the thalamic nucleus reuniens reduces freezing behavior and enhances extinction memory in rats.

This study investigates the role of the nucleus reuniens in fear conditioning and extinction in rodents and humans, finding that RE activity reflects associative value and defensive behavior.

This paper describes a low-cost, open-source headstage system for scalable electrophysiological recordings from multiple brain regions using custom electrode arrays.
