摘要："Animals need discriminating auditory fear memory (DAFM) to survive, but the related neural circuits of DAFM remain largely unknown. Our study shows that DAFM depends on acetylcholine (ACh) signal in the auditory cortex (ACx), which is projected from the nucleus basalis (NB). At the encoding stage, optogenetic inhibition of cholinergic projections of NB-ACx obfuscates distinct tone-responsive neurons of ACx recognizing from fear-paired tone to fear-unpaired tone signals, while simultaneously regulating the neuronal activity and reactivation of basal lateral amygdala (BLA) engram cells at the retrieval stage. This NBACh-ACx-BLA neural circuit for the modulation of DAFM is especially dependent on the nicotinic ACh receptor (nAChR). A nAChR antagonist reduces DAFM and diminishes the increased magnitude of ACx tone-responsive neuronal activity during the encoding stage. Our data suggest a critical role of NBACh-ACx-BLA neural circuit in DAFM: manipulation of the NB cholinergic projection to the ACx via nAChR during the encoding stage affects the activation of ACx tone-responsive neuron clusters and the BLA engram cells during the retrieval stage, thus modulating the DAFM."
