Project description: | The research will focus on synaptic adaptations that occur during the formation of appetitive memory – the memory about pleasurable events. The key brain area in appetitive (and aversive) learning is the amygdala. In this project, therefore, we will combine state-of-the-art imaging techniques, behavioral paradigms and electrophysiological recordings to visualize and study the function of synaptic projections within the amygdalar complex, including the analysis of the formation and fate of so called silent synapses. We aim on locating and characterizing neurons that respond to natural and addictive rewards. |
