The paper shows safety learning in the infralimbic cortex recruits oligodendrocyte progenitor cells to PV interneurons, promoting PNN degradation and cognitive flexibility.

This study investigates the role of infralimbic cortex projections to the basal forebrain in extinction learning, finding that this pathway is active during learning and its inhibition impairs learning.

This study shows that social isolation during adolescence affects spatial learning and cognitive flexibility differently in male and female mice, with lasting effects into adulthood.

The paper shows that serotonin modulates fear learning differently in male and female mice, with females showing greater sensitivity and specific circuit activation during fear memory recall.

This study shows that chronic social defeat stress leads to social avoidance through fear learning in mice, with conditioned responses to social targets.

This study shows that salient safety training improves exploration and discrimination of non-threatening stimuli in high anxiety mice.

This study shows that prelimbic cortex-dependent activation of basolateral amygdala somatostatin interneurons promotes discrimination of non-threatening stimuli by blocking theta-oscillation phase resetting.
