DOI: 10.1007/s00213-018-5033-2
Abstract: Fear learning and extinction are controlled by the activity of three interconnected regions: the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Of these, the medial prefrontal cortex modulates specific aspects in fear and extinction via a top-down… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11071-018-4628-9
Abstract: The fourth basic two-terminal circuit element has been called the memristor because its resistance (conductance) depends on the complete past history of the memristor current (voltage), i.e., the initial charge (flux) condition at a given… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/bs.pbr.2022.02.003
Abstract: Innate fear-related behavioral responses have evolved as strategies for survival. The neural circuits responsible for defensive responses, studied mainly in rodents, have been substantially preserved across evolution. Amygdala collects sensory information (visual, auditory and olfactory)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2016.09.019
Abstract: When neural circuits develop abnormally due to different genetic deficits and/or environmental insults, neural computations and the behaviors that rely on them are altered. Computational theories that relate neural circuits with specific quantifiable behavioral and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2018.01.022
Abstract: Social dysfunctions belong to the core features of several psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. In schizophrenia, these social deficits often persist after standard treatment and contribute to chronic functional disability… read more here.
