Hippocampal ensembles regulate circuit-induced relapse of extinguished fear Molecular Psychiatry - Hippocampal ensembles regulate circuit-induced relapse of extinguished fear

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 Inactivation of the nucleus reuniens causes relapse of extinguished fear. Here we show this “circuit-induced relapse” depends on hippocampal fear memories and is mediated by hippocampal engrams. Congrats to the team!

The reuniens thalamus recruits recurrent excitation in the medial prefrontal cortex | PNAS The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus are critical for memory retrieval, decision making, and emotional regulation. While ventral CA1...

Aversive generalization in human amygdala neurons Overgeneralizing a learned aversive stimulus can be maladaptive and even contribute to anxiety and PTSD. Reitich-Stolero et al. find that neurons in the human amygdala are involved in this overgeneral...
