Deskripsi

Activation of Thy-1 expressing neurons in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) has been shown to result in inhibition of fear. Here the authors present a comprehensive workflow to identify genes that are upregulated in this population and can be pharmacologically targeted to enable fear extinction.
