Danger Changes the Way the Brain Consolidates Neutral Information; and Does So by Interacting with Processes Involved in the Encoding of That Information

Author(s): Omar A Qureshi

This study examined the effect of danger on consolidation of neutral information in two regions of the rat (male and female) medial temporal lobe: the perirhinal cortex (PRh) and basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). The neutral information was the associatio ...

Author(s): Gostolupce D; Lay BPP; Maes EJP; Iordanova MD;

Associative learning is often considered to require the physical presence of stimuli in the environment in order for them to be linked. This, however, is not a necessary condition for learning. Indeed, associative relationships can form between events that ...

Anterior cingulate neurons signal neutral cue pairings during sensory preconditioning

Author(s): Hart EE; Gardner MPH; Schoenbaum G;

Of all frontocortical subregions, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has perhaps the most overlapping theories of function.1-3 Recording studies in rats, humans, and other primates have reported diverse neural responses that support many theories,4-12 yet ...

Mechanisms of higher-order learning in the amygdala

Author(s): Gostolupce D; Iordanova MD; Lay BPP;

Adaptive behaviour is under the potent control of environmental cues. Such cues can acquire value by virtue of their associations with outcomes of motivational significance, be they appetitive or aversive. There are at least two ways through which an enviro ...
