The basolateral amygdala (BLA) and ventral hippocampus (vHPC) have both been implicated
in mediating anxiety-related behaviors, but the functional contribution of BLA inputs to the …

Although the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is known to play a critical role in the formation of
memories of both positive and negative valence, the coding and routing of valence-related …

The lateral hypothalamic (LH) projection to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been linked
to reward processing, but the computations within the LH-VTA loop that give rise to specific …

The motivation to seek social contact may arise from either positive or negative emotional
states, as social interaction can be rewarding and social isolation can be aversive. While …

Accumulating evidence supports the notion that different BLA projections distinctly alter …

Dopamine modulates medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) activity to mediate diverse behavioural
functions 1 , 2 ; however, the precise circuit computations remain unknown. One potentially …

Activity remodels neurons, altering their molecular, structural, and electrical characteristics.
To enable the selective characterization and manipulation of these neurons, we present …

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a member of the TEC family of kinases, plays a crucial role in
