The amygdala is an area of the brain involved in assigning emotional significance to sensory stimuli. This grant examines the cellular processes involved in making these associations. Specifically, it studies the relationship between two signalling molecules implicated in association learning, acetylcholine and calcium. This research will test hypotheses of memory formation and provide insight into disorders linked to detrimental emotional associations, such as anxiety and addiction.

杏仁核是大脑的一个区域，负责对感官刺激赋予情感意义。这项资助研究了参与这些关联的细胞过程。具体来说，它研究了两个信号分子之间的关系，涉及联合学习，乙酰胆碱和钙。这项研究将测试记忆形成的假设，并提供与有害情绪关联有关的疾病的见解，如焦虑和成瘾。
