Ephrin-B3 coordinates timed axon targeting and amygdala spinogenesis for innate fear behaviour

The molecular mechanism underlying initial circuit wiring in amygdala is poorly understood. Here the authors show that ephrin-B3 is required for axon targeting and amygdala spinogenesis during a critical period in development, and plays an important role in amygdala mediated fear responses.
