Contextual fear conditioning in zebrafish.
Zebrafish are a genetically tractable vertebrate that hold considerable promise for elucidating the molecular basis of behavior. Although numerous recent advances have been made in the ability to precisely manipulate the zebrafish genome, much less is known about many aspects of learning and memory in adult fish. Here, we describe the development of a contextual fear conditioning paradigm using...
متن کاملOne-trial backward excitatory fear conditioning transfers across contexts.
One path to human phobia may be one-trial backward fear conditioning. Human phobias transfer readily across contexts. However, animal studies of one-trial backward fear conditioning have yet to demonstrate such transfer. The present study sought to do so. It used a lick-suppression procedure with 84 naive male albino rats. Two conditioning contexts, designated O and V, were crossed factorially ...
متن کاملConditioning and contextual retrieval in hippocampal rats.
The role of the hippocampus in associative learning was investigated in 3 experiments with rats as subjects. Hippocampal rats were impaired in the acquisition of conditioned responding both when food was signaled by the insertion of a lever (Experiment 1) and when the presentation of auditory or visual events served as the conditioned stimuli (Experiment 2). Experiment 2 also evaluated the sugg...
متن کاملEstrogen modulates sexually dimorphic contextual fear conditioning
The present study examined the role of ovarian steroids in contextual fear conditioning and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in female rats. In experiment 1, adult female rats were ovariectomized and submitted to contextual fear conditioning, a procedure in which rats received unsignaled footshock in a novel observation chamber; freezing behavior served as the measure of conditional fear. Ovarie...
متن کاملPrefrontal neuronal circuits of contextual fear conditioning.
Over the past years, numerous studies have provided a clear understanding of the neuronal circuits and mechanisms involved in the formation, expression and extinction phases of conditioned cued fear memories. Yet, despite a strong clinical interest, a detailed understanding of these memory phases for contextual fear memories is still missing. Besides the well-known role of the hippocampus in en...
