“Role of GABAergic inhibitory synapses at specific subcellular domains of Principal Neurons in Amygdala regulating Fear learning and Memory”
Fear is a natural, evolutionarily developed response to environmental threats. GABAergic synapse mediated feedback and feedforward inputs determine how the excitatory inputs to the principal cells involved in fear learning will be processed in the amygdala. In this current project our goal is to examine the role of specific subcellular GABAergic synapses of principal neurons in basolateral amygdala neural circuits using Fear conditioning which is a frequently used paradigm for studying the neurobiology of various anxiety disorders.
