- Astrocytes in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) dynamically track fear state and support fear memory retrieval and extinction.
- Astrocyte calcium (Ca2+) signaling enables neuronal encoding of fear memory retrieval and extinction.
- The study reveals a key role for astrocytes in generating and adapting fear-state-related neural representations, challenging neurocentric models of amygdala functions.
