Sustained conditioned responses in prelimbic prefrontal neurons are correlated with fear expression and extinction failure.
During auditory fear conditioning, it is well established that lateral amygdala (LA) neurons potentiate their response to the tone conditioned stimulus, and that this potentiation is required for conditioned fear behavior. Conditioned tone responses in LA, however, last only a few hundred milliseconds and cannot be responsible for sustained fear responses to a tone lasting tens of seconds. Rece...
متن کاملPrelimbic prefrontal neurons drive fear expression: a clue for extinction--reconsolidation interactions.
Learning associations between cues in the environment gives organisms the ability to predict impending danger. The last few decades of research have established that these stimulus– danger or fear associations are formed in the amygdala (LeDoux, 2000). This type of learning is modeled in the laboratory by presenting a neutral sensory stimulus (such as a tone) with an aversive stimulus (such as ...
متن کاملPulsed electromagnetic field attenuated PTSD-induced failure of conditioned fear extinction
Objective(s): This study aimed to determine whether exposure to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) can impair behavioral failure as induced by PTSD, and also its possible effects on hippocampal neurogenesis. PEMF was used as a non-invasive therapeutic tool in psychiatry.Materials and Methods: Male rats were divided into Control-Sham exp...
متن کاملExtinction and Retrieval + Extinction of Conditioned Fear Differentially Activate Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Amygdala in Rats
Pairing a previously neutral conditioned stimulus (CS; e.g., a tone) to an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US; e.g., a footshock) leads to associative learning such that the tone alone comes to elicit a conditioned response (e.g., freezing). We have previously shown that an extinction session that occurs within the reconsolidation window (termed retrieval + extinction) attenuates fear respondi...
متن کاملHistone modifications around individual BDNF gene promoters in prefrontal cortex are associated with extinction of conditioned fear.
Extinction of conditioned fear is an important model both of inhibitory learning and of behavior therapy for human anxiety disorders. Like other forms of learning, extinction learning is long-lasting and depends on regulated gene expression. Epigenetic mechanisms make an important contribution to persistent changes in gene expression; therefore, in these studies, we have investigated whether ep...
