  Subject Areas on Research

  • Distinct neuronal populations in the basolateral and central amygdala are activated with acute pain, conditioned fear, and fear-conditioned analgesia. 
  • General anesthetics activate a potent central pain-suppression circuit in the amygdala. 
  • Interaction of CRF and kappa opioid systems on GABAergic neurotransmission in the mouse central amygdala. 
  • Manipulations of Central Amygdala Neurotensin Neurons Alter the Consumption of Ethanol and Sweet Fluids in Mice. 
  • Multiple sources of internal calcium stores mediate ethanol-induced presynaptic inhibitory GABA release in the central nucleus of the amygdala in mice.
