This study identifies an amygdala-cortical circuit involved in encoding generalized fear memories, showing the ACC's role in extracting general threat features rather than specific contextual information.

This study shows that synaptic acetylcholine induces sharp wave ripples in the basolateral amygdala via nicotinic receptors, challenging the view of neuromodulators as purely modulatory.

The paper shows acetylcholine activates specific amygdala circuits to control theta oscillations, which are linked to emotional memory.

This study investigates how acetylcholine receptors differentially regulate cortical and thalamic inputs to the basolateral amygdala using electrophysiology and optogenetics in mouse brain slices.
