The firing activity of striatal cholinergic interneurons (CINs) is a neural correlate of conditioned learning. However, its circuitry is not entirely described. Here we report that midbrain GABA and Glutamate neurons discriminate auditory cues and encode the association of a predictive stimulus with a footshock. Through their mono- and di-synaptic inputs via the thalamic-parafasicular sub-nucleus onto CINs, they contribute to processing fear learning.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
