Fig. 8: LTP induction in the PB-CeC/L pathway alters the emotional value of aversive unconditioned stimuli.

a Successive threat conditioning paradigm. b Schematic of Rescorla–Wagner model. CeC/L, central amygdala; CS, conditioned stimulus; US, unconditioned stimulus; V, activity of the CeC/L; w, synaptic weights in the path of CS input to the CeC/L. c Estimated distribution of the value of US, Shock, and Control. d Estimated distribution of the value of US, Chronos, and eYFP. e Successive conditioning discrimination paradigm. f Schematic of Rescorla–Wagner model for CS1-CS2 generalization. CS1, value of CS1; CS2, value of CS2; \(r\), the generalization parameter. g Estimated distribution of the value of US, Shock, and Control. h Estimated distribution of the value of US, Chronos, and eYFP.
