Shedding Light on Hippocampus-Amygdala Communication
[4:50]
Bazelot et al. dissect synaptic mechanisms orchestrating the information flow from the ventral hippocampus to the amygdala, two regions of the limbic system controlling emotional memories. They discovered that the hippocampal input gates synaptic plasticity in the amygdala via action on local GABAergic interneurons. Check out the paper at http://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S….
