Single-unit ventrolateral periaqueductal grey (vlPAG) responses during auditory cued fear delay conditioning.
(A) Schematic representation of the fear conditioning paradigm composed of habituation, acquisition, and extinction sessions. Habituation and acquisition were carried out in context A, whilst extinction training was in context B. During acquisition, a conditioned stimulus (CS) tone was paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US) footshock (see Materials and methods for details). (B) Peri event time histogram (PETH) showing average firing rate of all available single units (n = 32) recorded during presentation of the unconditioned tone (10 s) during habituation in eight control animals. Time 0, tone onset. Light blue bar shows time the tone is on. (C) Same as (B) but all available single units (n = 50) recorded during acquisition from 10 control animals (shaded red and lightening symbol indicates time of US footshock when the stimulus artefact prevented neural recording). (D) Same as (B) but all available single units (n = 55) recorded during presentation of the unreinforced CS+ throughout extinction from 10 control animals. For (B–D), individual unit activity was z-score normalised to a 5 s baseline before tone onset. Horizontal dashed red line represents significance level (p<0.05). PETHs show mean ± SEM; 40 ms bins. (E) One example of a type 1 onset and offset single unit recorded during extinction training. Data displayed as raster plot from early extinction (EE) to late extinction (LE) with corresponding PETH for EE (trials 1–14) and LE (trials 22–35) (40 ms bins), time 0 onset of CS+. Horizontal dashed red line represents significance level (p<0.05).

Tetrode recordings.
(A) Example electrophysiological data recorded from a ventrolateral periaqueductal grey (vlPAG) tetrode (30 kHz sampling rate, 600–3 kHz bandpass filter, Ch1-4, tetrode channels 1–4). Raw data captured during early extinction training around the time of CS+ onset (left, tone on) and CS+ offset (right, tone off). Light blue bar shows time the tone is on. (B) Spikes were sorted using all channels in MClust to identify individual units; in this case, four units (colour coded) were isolated. Individual units were classified as described in Materials and methods. (C) Violin plots showing distribution of baseline firing rates for all available single units recorded in vlPAG during three phases of fear conditioning: habituation (n = 30 units), acquisition (n = 50 control units), and extinction (n = 55 control units). Horizontal black lines show median, and blue lines IQR firing rate for each phase of conditioning. (D) Same as (C), but for single units recorded during muscimol experiments. Habituation (n = 10 units), acquisition (n = 17 units), and extinction (n = 25 units). Horizontal black lines show median, and orange lines IQR firing rate for each phase of conditioning.

Histological verification of implants.
(A) Photomicrographs of two example tetrode tracks (arrows) in periaqueductal grey (PAG). Outlines show left half of two coronal sections (anteroposterior [AP] levels –6.5 and –7.5) of the PAG. Dotted lines indicate approximate location of the ventrolateral sector (vlPAG). Note that a lack of correspondence between the physiological and histological boundaries of the lateral border of PAG has been reported previously (McMullan and Lumb, 2006). (B) Same as (A) but tracks in sagittal sections (±1 mm of midline) medial cerebellar nucleus (MCN) and (C) example track of a cerebellar cannula. (D) Pairs of figurines to the left show two coronal sections (AP levels –6.5 and –7.5) of the PAG. Pairs of figurines to the right show sagittal sections of left and right cerebellum (±1 mm of midline). Tetrodes-only controls (n = 6 rats, tetrodes implanted on one side of PAG and also in the contralateral MCN), tracks colour coded for each animal, and length of each track indicates extent of unit recording in that track; reconstruction of tetrode tracks in the vlPAG (left) and contralateral MCN (right). (E) Same as (D) but for saline controls (tetrodes implanted on one side in PAG and cannulae implanted bilaterally in MCN for saline infusion; n = 4 rats). In the cerebellar sections, the whole length of each cannula track has been reconstructed, and the blue-coloured tips indicate the extension of the internal cannula for infusions. (F) Same as (E) but cannulae used for infusion of muscimol (n = 4 rats). In the cerebellar tracks, orange-coloured tips indicate the extension of the internal cannulae for infusions. (G) Same as (F) but only cannulae implanted in left and right cerebellum for infusion of muscimol (n = 4 rats).

Time of the US during acquisition is shown by red dotted rectangle; 40 ms bins. (B) Same as (A) but mean PETH ± SEM for all type 1 offset units (n = 6). Horizontal dashed red line represents significance level (p<0.05). (C) Same as (A) but example type 4 offset unit. (D) Same as (B) but mean PETH ± SEM for all type 4 offset units (n = 6).

No significant difference in timing between trace and delay (p>0.05).
