Synaptic Modulation via Basolateral Amygdala on the Rat Hippocampus– Medial Prefrontal Cortex Pathway in Fear Extinction

The present study elucidated the functional role of modulatory effects of basolateral amygdala (BLA) on synaptic transmission in the rat hippocampus–medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) pathway, compared with the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Exposure to conditioned fear stress (CFS) or prior BLA activ...
