Topic: IPACL

Behavioural states like anxiety, preference selection, and social interaction promote homeostasis and survival by facilitating effective adaptation and communication. The interstitial nucleus of posterior limb of anterior commissure, lateral (IPACL) has been suggested to play a role in regulating locomotion activation, avoidance behaviours, energy balance and processing of reward and aversive memories. However, how IPACL neurons are concurrently involved in these diverse functions remain unclear. To tackle these questions, we use deep brain Ca2+ imaging in the IPACL with miniature microscopes
