The use of genetic markers and single-cell transcriptomics can provide ins ights into the behavior-associated cell state changes. Here\, we present a detailed cell type taxonomy of the adult mouse amygdala during fear learn ing and memory consolidation. We perform single-cell RNA-seq on naïve and fear conditioned mice and identify 130 neuronal cell types\, whose spatial distributions is orthogonally validated. A subset of all neuronal types a re transcriptionally responsive to fear learning and memory retrieval. The activated engram cells upregulate activity response genes\, and coordinat e expression of genes associated with neurite outgrowth\, synaptic signali ng\, plasticity\, and development. We identify known and previously undesc ribed candidate genes responsive to fear learning. Our molecular atlas may be used to generate hypotheses to unveil the neuron types and neural circ uits regulating the emotional component of learning and memory\n DTSTART:20231017T200000Z DTEND:20231017T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:[POSTPONED] Killam Seminar Series: Cell Types in the Mouse Amygdala and Their Transcriptional Response to Fear Conditioning URL:/neuro/channels/event/postponed-killam-seminar-ser ies-cell-types-mouse-amygdala-and-their-transcriptional-response-fear-3510 82 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
