The basolateral amygdala (BLA) mediates the facilitating effects of emotions on memory.
The BLA's enhancing influence extends to various types of memories, including striatal …

Brain activity in sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation, an offline process that
determines the long-term strength of memory traces. Consolidation efficacy differs across …

Summary Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a secreted factor known to guide axon/dendrite
growth and neuronal migration. We found that it also acts as a polarizing factor for …

Recent human functional MRI (fMRI) studies have revealed that two widely distributed
groups of cortical areas display inverse changes in activity when attentional demands …

Phasic dopamine (DA) release is believed to guide associative learning. Most studies have
focused on projections from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the striatum, and the action …

This study tested whether firing rate and spike shape could be used to distinguish projection
cells from interneurons in extracellular recordings of basolateral amygdala (BLA) neurons …

Emotions generally improve memory, and the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is believed to
mediate this effect. After emotional arousal, BLA neurons increase their firing rate, facilitating …

The ability to optically manipulate specific neuronal signaling proteins with genetic precision
paves the way for the dissection of their roles in brain function, behavior, and disease …

The basal amygdala (BA) plays a key role in mediating the facilitating effects of emotions on
memory. Recent findings indicate that this function depends on the ability of BA neurons to …

Additive manufacturing in the form of 3D printing is becoming more common with the rise of
low-cost hobby machines which makes research in the field of medicine more accessible …
