ErbB4 precludes the occurrence of PTSD-like fear responses by supporting the bimodal activity of the central amygdala by Kibong Sung, Min-Jae Jeong, Taesik Yoo, Jung Hoon Jung, Sumin Kang, Jong-Yeon Yoo, Hyun Jin Kim, Kyunghyun Park, Jung Hyun Pyo, Hyun-Yong Lee, Noah Koo, Soo-Hee Choi, Joung-Hun Kim

“…Therefore, the bimodal activity that CeL On/Off cells display is likely required for proper discrimination of fearful stimuli from ambient stimuli, which should be sustained by the presence of ErbB4. Taken together, our data substantiate the correlation between PTSD-like fear responses and ErbB4 expression in CeLSST neurons and further underscore the functional effects of ErbB4 in CeLSST neurons, supporting the bimodal responses of CeL neurons.…”
