Modulation of medial prefrontal cortical activity using in vivo recordings and optogenetics
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) serves major executive functions. mPFC output to subcortical brain areas such as the amygdala controls emotional processing and plays an important role in fear extinction. Impaired mPFC function co...
