Direct Ventral Hippocampal-Prefrontal Input Is Required for Anxiety-Related Neural Activity and Behavior.

TL;DR: A specific role is revealed for the vHPC-mPFC projection in anxiety-related behavior and the spatial representation of aversive information within the mPFC.

A Comprehensive Overview on Stress Neurobiology: Basic Concepts and Clinical Implications.

TL;DR: The identification of neuronal circuits of stress, as well as their interaction with mediator molecules over time is critical, not only for understanding the physiological stress responses, but also to understand their implications on mental health.

Combined Social and Spatial Coding in a Descending Projection from the Prefrontal Cortex

TL;DR: An unexpected combination of social and spatial information within the prelimbic cortex may contribute to social behavior by supporting social-spatial learning.

Emotion Circuits in the Brain

TL;DR: The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area, and much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning as mentioned in this paper.

Millisecond-timescale, genetically targeted optical control of neural activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors adapted the naturally occurring algal protein Channelrhodopsin-2, a rapidly gated light-sensitive cation channel, by using lentiviral gene delivery in combination with high-speed optical switching to photostimulate mammalian neurons.

The role of the amygdala in fear and anxiety

TL;DR: The idea that the amygdala, and its many efferent projections, may represent a central fear system involved in both the expression and acquisition of conditioned fear is summarized.

Stress, memory and the amygdala

TL;DR: The unique features of stress-induced plasticity in the amygdala, in association with changes in other brain regions, could have long-term consequences for cognitive performance and pathological anxiety exhibited in people with affective disorders.
