Synaptic plasticity in the central nucleus of the amygdala

Reviews in the Neurosciences
Rachel D SamsonDenis Paré

Abstract

In recent years, the amygdala has emerged as a critical site of plasticity for the acquisition of various forms of Pavlovian learning, either aversive or appetitive. In most of these models, the critical site of plasticity has been localized to the basolateral complex of the amygdala (BLA). In contrast, the central nucleus of the amygdala has emerged as a passive relay of potentiated BLA outputs toward downstream effectors. At odds with this view, however, recent studies suggest that the central nucleus may also be a site of plasticity and play an active role in some forms of Pavlovian learning. The present review summarizes the evidence supporting this possibility.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
