Corticonigral projections recruit substantia nigra pars lateralis dopaminergic neurons for auditory threat memories

Auditory and temporal cortexes send strong excitatory signals to substantia nigra pars lateralis dopamine neurons, impacting threat conditioning. Inhibiting this pathway impairs memory retrieval, revealing its role in threatening behaviors.

Presynaptic GABAA receptors control integration of nicotinic input onto dopaminergic axons in the striatum

Dopaminergic neuron axons have GABAARs and nAChRs that influence DA release. GABAAR antagonism enhances nAChR activity, while picrotoxin inhibits nAChRs, revealing GABAARs' role in regulating nicotinic input onto DA axons.
