Basolateral amygdala nucleus responses to appetitive conditioned stimuli correlate with variations in conditioned behaviour
Neurons in the basolateral amygdala show increased response to conditioned stimuli predicting rewards. Here the authors show that their activity is not correlated with the reward-predicting stimulus but rather with the conditioned behaviour.
