Fear, synaptic plasticity and the amygdala

 

QBI's Professor Pankaj Sah will speak on the 'fear, synaptic plasticity and the amygdala' on Wednesday 31 August as part of QBI's regular neuroscience seminar series.
 
The amygdala is a part of the brain that is involved in emotional processing. A form of Pavlovian conditioning called fear conditioning has been used to study learning and memory formation in the brain and the amygdala plays a key role in this process. In this talk Professor Sah will review how intrinsic circuits in the amygdala contribute to this form of learning.
