Cholinergic Signaling Controls Conditioned Fear Behaviors and Enhances Plasticity of Cortical-Amygdala Circuits
Li Jiang,Li Jiang,Srikanya Kundu,Srikanya Kundu,James D. Lederman,James D. Lederman,Gretchen Y. López-Hernández,Gretchen Y. López-Hernández,Elizabeth C. Ballinger,Shaohua Wang,Shaohua Wang,David A. Talmage,David A. Talmage,Lorna W. Role,Lorna W. Role +14 more
TL;DR: Stimulation of cholinergic terminal fields within the BLA in awake-behaving mice during training in a cued fear-conditioning paradigm slowed the extinction of learned fear as assayed by multi-day retention of extinction learning.

Type III Neuregulin 1 Is Required for Multiple Forms of Excitatory Synaptic Plasticity of Mouse Cortico-Amygdala Circuits
TL;DR: It is shown that type III Nrg1 is critical in multiple forms of plasticity of cortical projections to pyramidal neurons of the amygdala of the BLA, and this finding supports the idea thattype III NRG1 is essential to multiple aspects of the modulation of excitatory plasticity at cortical–BLA synapses.

Electrophysiological properties of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons identified by genetic and optogenetic tagging.
Gretchen Y. López-Hernández,Mala Ananth,Li Jiang,Elizabeth C. Ballinger,David A. Talmage,Lorna W. Role +5 more
TL;DR: Cholinergic neurons are less excitable then their non‐cholinergic neighbors, and the basic properties of cholinergic neuron do not significantly change between adolescence and young adulthood and these properties are not significantly affected by chronic expression of the excitatory opsin, oChIEF.

Optogenetic studies of nicotinic contributions to cholinergic signaling in the central nervous system.
TL;DR: Overall, it is believed that optogenetic manipulation of cholinergic excitability in combination with some rigorous pharmacology will ultimately advance the understanding of the many functions of nAChRs in the brain.

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons are part of the threat memory engram
Prithviraj Rajebhosale,Mala Ananth,Richard B. Crouse,Li Jiang,Li Jiang,López Hernández G,López Hernández G,Arty C,Shaohua Wang,Jone A,Chongbo Zhong,Desai N,Li Y,Li Y,Marina R. Picciotto,Lorna W. Role,David A. Talmage +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that specific cholinergic neurons are requisite partners in a threat memory engram and that distinct populations of choline neurons are recruited to signal distinct aversive stimuli via the basolateral amygdala.
