"defensive responses like fleeing or freezing can co-occur with feelings of fear, not because the neural processes underlying these two kinds of events are intimately entwined in the amygdala, but instead because the events have the same starting point."
Completely agree!
"Thoughtful Feelings" is a new My Word article in Current Biology. It's an overview of my ideas about what emotions are. Thank you @GeoffreyNorth1 for publishing these "thought pieces."

Did you ever wonder what happens to memory in Alzheimer's disease? We found that the memory trace is still there, but impaired by interference with other neuronal ensembles. Like a noisy radio channel. Check it out:

Great talk by @hakwanlau at Consciousness Club @WCHN_UCL dealing with which creatures are conscious and ending with suggested clinical treatments for fear and phobia. Thanks to @smfleming for organizing

Our new study with @GordFishell and @JDimidschstein is now on bioRxiv, showing how the ventral hippocampus engages CCK interneurons in the prefrontal cortex, with endocannabinoid modulation of inhibition at only a subset of L5 pyramidal cells:

Congrats @TinaVoelcker! This is one of those really pretty results I think a lot of folks suspected was true but never confirmed. Until now.
