The brain doesn’t always say “NO.” Sometimes it says: “yes, but carefully.”
New in Science Advances: a PL→aNAcC pathway helps learned threat restrain reward pursuit.
Less a fear switch, more a regulator of caution.
Proudly done at UNAM, Mexico.

#JNeurosci: Findings from Hernández-Jaramillo et al. reveal the critical role of the pallidal-amygdalar connection in controlling cautious approach behaviors influenced by past experiences in rats. @So3Lab@UNAM_MX

Ever face a tough motivational choice?🧀 vs ⚠️. Our research on rats suggests the amygdala and ventral pallidum team up to help us decide! #braindecisions

Excited to share our latest preprint showing that ventral pallidum and amygdala cooperate to restrain risky reward choice behaviors during conflict 🧠😱😋🎌https://t.co/blXjuSr0ca
Counting down the days to go to #IBNS2024 to talk about avoidance behavior and neural circuits with @DrDiehl_neuro@CBravoRivera and Guillermo Aquino-Miranda 🤩
Online now in @NeuroCellPress !
A tale of two neurotransmitters (glutamate and dopamine). We show how VTA glutamate projections to NAc paradoxically promote reward and aversion. What we found may surprise you!

El hecho de que hasta para la ciencia sea un misterio qué es y cómo funciona el miedo nos resulta aterrador. 👻 Por eso, Sotres Bayón y su equipo del @IFC_UNAM indagan la controlabilidad, para "no ser esclavos de nuestras respuestas reactivas al miedo".

I am thrilled to see my postdoctoral work finally published in @NatureNeuro ! (free access here: https://t.co/Myl2RGGaNv). We used in vivo ephys and a new behavioral paradigm to elucidate what the PFC represents when mice face danger. These are the main findings of our work: 🧵

In a new theory of embodied consciousness, neuroscientists Antonio Damasio & Hanna Damasio propose that feelings are the source of consciousness. W/o them, consciousness is impossible–w/radical implications for the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness & ... AI https://t.co/HKKHbe2KsK
Excited to share our new eLife paper on interactions between the PFC and BLA, showing how rostral and caudal BLA engage different circuits in the prelimbic and infralimbic PFC, all done by my amazing student @KManoocheri:
