Long-term synaptic enhancements in cortical and thalamic auditory inputs to the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LAn) mediate encoding of conditioned fear memory. It is not known, however, whether the convergent auditory conditioned stimulus (CSa) pathways interact with each other to produce changes in their synaptic function. We found that continuous paired stimulation of thalamic and cortical auditory inputs to the LAn with the interstimulus delay approximately mimicking a temporal pattern of ...[more]
