The paper investigates the functional roles of glutamatergic and GABAergic neuronal populations in the dorsolateral periacqueductal gray during fear conditioning, finding that only glutamatergic neurons persist in responding to conditioned stimuli during retrieval.

This study investigates how glutamatergic VTA neurons respond to aversive and rewarding conditioning in mice, revealing distinct patterns during conditioning and retrieval phases.
