• Dissociable roles of prelimbic and infralimbic cortices, ventral hippocampus, and basolateral amygdala in the expression and extinction of conditioned fear (2010, neutral): “Recent electrophysiological findings suggest that IL and PL have opposite influences on fear expression (Gilmartin and McEchron, 2005; Vidal-Gonzalez et al., 2006), and have different targets within the amygdala (Vertes, 2004; Gabbott et al., 2005).”
• Brain mediators of cardiovascular responses to social threat, Part I: Reciprocal dorsal and ventral sub-regions of the medial prefrontal cortex and heart-rate reactivity (2009, background): “These two structures project to different subcortical nuclei (Gabbott et al., 2005; Hoover and Vertes, 2007;McDonald et al., 1996; Vertes, 2004)— the PL to the basolateral amygdala, associated with fear learning, and the IL to intercalated inhibitory neurons in the amygdala (Vertes, 2004), which are”
• Anatomical analysis of afferent projections to the medial prefrontal cortex in the rat (2007, background): “The AGm of rats is also termed the medial precentral area (or Fr2 region of Zilles 1985) and is partially coextensive with the secondary motor cortex (Zilles and Wree 1995; Gabbott et al. 2005).”
• Microstimulation reveals opposing influences of prelimbic and infralimbic cortex on the expression of conditioned fear. (2006, background): “Given the robust projections of PrCm and ACd to the dorsal striatum and intralaminar thalamic nuclei (Heidbreder and Groenewegen 2003; Gabbott et al. 2005), toneevoked activity in PrCm and ACd might be important for avoidance and attentional processes related to fear (Heidbreder and Groenewegen…”
• The Role of the Dorsal Striatum in Reward and Decision-Making (2007, background): “Prelimbic cortex projects densely to both dorsomedial striatum and accumbens core (Gabbott et al., 2005) and, although well controlled studies assessing specifically goal-directed learning suggests that the latter region is not involved in this learning process (Corbit et al., 2001), recent…”
• Extinction circuits for fear and addiction overlap in prefrontal cortex. (2009, background): “The PL-mPFC region projects primarily to the basal amygdala (BA) (Vertes 2004; Gabbott et al. 2005), which is critical for the expression of conditioned fear (Anglada-Figueroa and Quirk 2005; Herry et al. 2008).”
