Basolateral amygdala inactivation impairs learning-induced long-term potentiation in the cerebellar cortex.

Basolateral amygdala inactivation impairs learning-induced long-term potentiation in the cerebellar cortex.

Learning to fear dangerous situations requires the participation of basolateral amygdala (BLA). In the present study, we provide evidence that BLA is necessary for the synaptic strengthening occurring during memory formation in the cerebellum in rats. In the cerebellar vermis the parallel fibers (PF...
