Ensemble coding in amygdala circuits for associative learning

Highlights • Amygdala circuits have diverse functions in associative fear learning. • Their role is based on functional, anatomical and genetic criteria. • Local interneurons control amygdala coding and plasticity. • Ensembles of amygdala neurons are recruited during associative learning. • Little i...
