What Can Ethobehavioral Studies Tell Us About The Brain’s Fear System? (2016, background): “For example, functional and genetic circuit analyses have shown that the lateral subdivision of the CEA (CEl) is involved in the acquisition of auditory fear conditioning, whereas the medial subdivision of the CEA (CEm) mediates the expression of fear CRs [38,39].”
