Roles of mediodorsal thalamus in observational fear-related neural activity in mouse anterior cingulate cortex

Abstract Observational fear (OF) is the ability to vicariously experience and learn from another’s fearful situation, enabling adaptive responses crucial for survival. It has been shown that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and basolateral amygdala (BLA) are crucial for OF. A subset of neurons in...
