The paper shows that NE activates CCK interneurons in the BLA to generate rhythmic inhibitory input, reducing fear memory through enhanced theta oscillations.

The paper identifies a non-canonical cortico-amygdala pathway from the dorsal peduncular prefrontal cortex to the central amygdala that regulates high-intensity defensive behaviors like flight.

The paper shows that KCNQ channels help maintain stable presynaptic action potential waveforms during high-frequency firing, supporting reliable synaptic transmission in rat calyx of Held nerve terminals.

This paper introduces third-generation rabies viral vectors with single deletions that enable more efficient, non-toxic retrograde targeting of projection neurons compared to previous generations.

This paper introduces a non-toxic rabies virus system for long-term in vivo imaging of neuronal networks, showing minimal toxicity and normal visual response properties over 10 weeks.

The paper investigates how neuromodulation of parvalbumin interneurons in the basolateral amygdala affects network and behavioral states during fear expression.

The paper shows that acute stress reduces the response of CRH neurons to norepinephrine and physiological stress through glucocorticoid-mediated adrenoreceptor desensitization.

The paper reveals a novel retrograde signaling mechanism in CRF neurons where astrocytes amplify dendritic volume transmission by responding to norepinephrine-induced ATP release.
