Shining Light on Social Learning Circuits

Steve W C Chang et al. Trends Cogn Sci. 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Learning from others powerfully shapes our lives, yet the circuit-specific mechanisms underlying social learning in the brain remain unclear. A recent study in mice provides evidence that direct neuronal projections from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) play a critical role in observational fear learning.
