Caption

Schematic showing how paired preconditioning affects the amygdala after aversive learning. Aversive learing after paired preconditioning resulted in more neurons that responded to the noise (red dots), responded to both the noise and the image (mixed red and blue dots) and responded to the unpleasant experience (orange ring).
