Topic: Vicarious fear learning

Vicarious fear learning is a highly effective means to learn of potential dangers, as well as a result of having both emotional empathy and associative learning. Studies in social neuroscience have found projections and cell types essential for vicarious fear learning. However, it is unknown what aspects of the cortical network dynamics are essential for and contribute to processing information during social learning, which can be conveniently studied with imaging and advanced electrophysiology setups requiring head fixation. In particular, this project aims to study how the medial associative
