Many forms of behavior require selective amplification of neuronal representations of relevant environmental signals. Emotional learning enhances sensory responses in the sensory cortex, yet the underlying circuits remain poorly understood. We identify a pathway between the basolateral amygdala (BLA), an emotional learning center in the mouse brain, and the inhibitory reticular nucleus of the thalamus (TRN). Optogenetic activation of BLA suppressed spontaneous, but not tone-evoked, activity in t ...[more]
