We have made continued progress in Heisei 26 on delineating a circuit mechanism for setting fear learning levels. Following up on our previous work from Heisei, we have discovered that central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) inputs to the periaqueductal gray (PAG) regulates prediction error neural coding and memory strength through differential modulation of distinct subregions of the PAG.Specifically we found that optogenetic inhibition of CE inputs to ventrolateral PAG (vlPAG) inhibited auditory conditioned stimulus (CS) processing in vlPAG without affecting shock unconditioned stimulus (US) processing.In contrast, the same optogenetic manipulation disinhibited shock US processing, but had no effect on CS processing in dorsolateral PAG neurons.
