title: Healing Pains of the Past Using Neuronal Transplantation.
abstract: Yang et al. (2016) show that transplantation of GABAergic inhibitory neurons into the amygdala boosts the persistence of fear extinction in mice. Transplantation was found to degrade perineuronal nets on endogenous inhibitory neurons and enhance synaptic plasticity in host amygdala.
