The cytoarchitectonic subdivision of the neocortex into six layers is often used to describe
the organization of the cortical circuitry, sensory-evoked signal flow or cortical functions. …

Signals related to fear memory and extinction are processed within brain pathways involving
the lateral amygdala (LA) for formation of aversive stimulus associations, the CA1 area of …

The size and shape of dendrites and axons are strong determinants of neuronal information
processing. Our knowledge on neuronal structure and function is primarily based on brains …

With a combined in vitro/in vivo electrophysiological and behavioral approach, we have
correlated conditioned fear behavior to electrophysiological activities in the lateral amygdala …

Vertical thalamocortical afferents give rise to the elementary functional units of sensory
cortex, cortical columns. Principles that underlie communication between columns remain …

… is unlikely because reconsolidation experiments after recall of remote memory resulted in
a reinstatement of freezing-related theta synchronization (RT Narayanan, O. Stork and H.-C. …

Evidence suggests that plasticity of the amygdalar and hippocampal GABAergic system is
critical for fear memory formation. In this study we investigated in wild-type and genetically …

Extinction procedures are clinically relevant for reducing pathological fear, and the mechanisms
of fear regulation are a subject of intense research. The amygdala, hippocampus, and …

10.7554/eLife.24364.001 The sequential activation of neurons has been observed in various
areas of the brain, but in no case is the underlying network structure well understood. Here …

Pyramidal tract neurons (PTs) represent the major output cell type of the mammalian neocortex.
Here, we report the origins of the PTs' ability to respond to a broad range of stimuli with …
