Bidirectional control of fear memories by cerebellar neurons projecting to the ventrolateral periaqueductal grey

The cerebellum has a role in motor control, but may also contribute to other functions. Here the authors demonstrate a role for the cerebellar fastigial nucleus projection onto ventrolateral periaqueductal grey neurons during fear acquisition.
