| Numerous
lines of evidence implicate the lateral |

amygdala in fear conditioning |

|
| • | Damage to the
lateral nucleus prevents |

| acquisition and
expression of fear |

| responses to
auditory CSs. |

| • | Neural responses
to auditory CS and |

| nocioceptive US
are found on the same |

| single neurons in
rat lateral nucleus. |

| • | CS auditory
responses are enhanced by |

| conditioning in
which the CS is paired with |
