DESCRIPTION:Jun-Hyeong Cho\, Department of Molecular\, Cell and Systems Bi
 ology\, University of California\, USA\nIn associative fear learning\, exp
 erimental subjects learn to associate a neutral sensory cue or context wit
 h an aversive stimulus and display fear responses to the cue or context th
 at predicts danger. Recent studies have identified memory engram cells\, a
  population of neurons that is activated by associative fear learning and 
 whose reactivation results in fear memory recall. However\, it remains unk
 nown how memory engram cells in a distributed network are connected to one
  another\, and how the synaptic strength of these connections (i.e. engram
  cell pathways) is modified to encode an associative fear memory. In this 
 talk\, I will discuss our recent findings on how selective strengthening o
 f the engram cell pathways contributes to encoding a fear memory associate
 d with an auditory cue or context.\n \nReference: Kim WB and Cho J-H (201
