New work from Michael Totty Reed Ressler and Karthik Ramanathan Cecily Oleksiak building on seminal work by Jonathan Fadok on freeze-flight transitions in rats! Bottom line: context matters and silencing CeA or BNST limits both context fear and flight; similar results in βοΈ&βοΈ.

New preprint out today (biorxiv.org/content/10.110β¦)! 1st author Cecily Oleksiak parses the role of context in 2-way signaled avoidance and demonstrates that ventral hippocampus mediates the contextual specificity of the avoidance response (π§΅1/5)

Hey! Steve Maren ππ§ ππ¨ is letting me leave the nest. Come check out some of the labs cool work!


Congrats to β¦Reed Resslerβ© on his successful dissertation defense! You canβt tell...but we are both beaming with joy!!

Unfortunately the #SfN poster session format today didn't really allow for more than 3/10 people to discuss their work, so if you stopped by hoping to talk about Jianfeng Liu and my recent work on the BLA in recent and remote fear, send me a DM and we'll find a time to zoom!
