- 주제 : Genetic studies for neural mechanisms underlying empathinc fear

- 요약 : Empathy is an important emotional process that involves the ability to recognize and share emotions with others. Deficits in empathy manifest in a variety of disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, alexithymia, as well as psychopathy. We have developed an observational fear learning (OFL) behavioral assay to measure empathic fear in mice. In the OFL task, a mouse is conditioned for fear to the context ‘where‘ it observes a conspecific demonstrator receiving aversive stimuli.
 
We have further demonstrated that the affective pain circuits including the anterior cingulate cortex, the midline and intralaminar thalamus, in addition to the amygdala plays a crucial role in conditioning of observational fear. Despite recent association studies showing that genetic factors account for both change and continuity in empathy, identification of genes controlling empathy has been largely limited in humans. Though the use of forward and reverse genetic approaches, we have identified that Phospholipase C beta4 and Neurexin-III are involved in modulation of OFL. I will present how we have identified these genes and underlying mechanisms in different neural circuits for empathic fear behaviors.
