Researchers Uncover Insights into Basolateral Amygdala Neurons - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL observed the neuronal activity in this brain region while rats freely engaged with a variety of different ethological stimuli.

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is one site of information storage important for forming conditioned fear responses to previously neutral stimuli by pairing them with aversive stimuli. Researchers hav… [+3270 chars]
