Neuronal circuits controlling fear behavior (NEUROFEAR)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,

"Accurate adaptation to stimuli predicting threatening outcome is critical to survival. An insufficient fear reaction may lead the animal to overlook future signs of danger, whereas overreacting may lead the animal to failure to explore and miss opportunities for feeding or mating. Numerous data indicate that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a key role in the control of fear behavior and ...
