Resumo

In classical fear conditioning a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS) such as a tone, is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US) such as a shock. The CS thereby acquires the capacity to elicit a fear response. This type of associative learning is thought to require co-activation of principle neurons in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) by two sets of synaptic inputs, a weak CS and a strong US...
