Fear learning induces synaptic potentiation between engram neurons in the rat lateral amygdala

Henry Markram, Rodrigo de Campos Perin

The lateral amygdala (LA) encodes fear memories by potentiating sensory inputs associated with threats and, in the process, recruits 10-30% of its neurons per fear memory engram. However, how the local network within the LA processes this information and w ...
