Acetylcholine signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex mediates the ability to learn an active avoidance response following learned helplessness training

Zuhair I. Abdulla, Yann S. Mineur, Richard B. Crouse, Ian M. Etherington, Hanna Yousuf, Jessica J. Na, Marina R. Picciotto

This study investigates the role of acetylcholine signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex during learned helplessness training and active avoidance tasks, finding sex-specific effects on escape performance and potential contributions to depressive symptoms.
