Caine"s major brain circuits ps 231, outline 6, new & improved (2 pgs text, 2 pgs figs, 4 articles) Grownups & faces & snakes (feinstein et al. , 2011) fear conditioning in the laboratory: fps in rats and mice (davis et al. , 1993: memory: hippocampus. Ca1 place cells & the trisynaptic circuit spatial learning (packard & mcgaugh, 1996) formation of new, long-term, explicit memories: patient hm: adaptation: striatum. Ventral striatum: from motivation to action loops and spirals in behavioral adaptation. Brain pathway #1: thalamus glu + cortex. Brain pathway #2: cortex glu + thalamus. Brain circuit #1: thalamo-cortical and cortico-thalamic, two neurons, two synapses, one circuit/loop: organized in two dimensions: (1) posterior to anterior, medial to lateral & (2) layers (surface to deep) Thalamo-cortical (thalamus ctx: extension of lyr 3 ( layer 2/3 , cortico-cortical (ctx ctx, thalamo-cortical (thalamus ctx, cortico-subcortical (ctx subcortex, e. g. , striatum, mtl, cortico-thalamic (ctx thalamus, fear: amygdala freezing.
