متن کاملFunctional inactivation of the amygdala before but not after auditory fear conditioning prevents memory formation.
Two competing theories predict different effects on memory consolidation when the amygdala is inactivated after fear conditioning. One theory, based on studies using inhibitory avoidance training, proposes that the amygdala modulates the strength of fear learning, and post-training amygdala manipulations interfere with memory consolidation. The other, based on studies using Pavlovian fear condi...
متن کاملFear learning induces structural and functional plasticity at GABAergic synapses in the basolateral amygdala
Background Previous work has suggested that alterations in GABAergic function within the amygdala underlie fear learning. In particular, it has been shown that Pavlovian fear conditioning induces a downregulation of benzodiazepine binding sites as well as transcripts for gephyrin and some GABAA receptor subunits in the basal nucleus of the amygdala (BA), which were restored to control levels af...
متن کاملActivation of ERK/MAP kinase in the amygdala is required for memory consolidation of pavlovian fear conditioning.
Although much has been learned about the neurobiological mechanisms underlying Pavlovian fear conditioning at the systems and cellular levels, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying fear memory consolidation. The present experiments evaluated the role of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) signaling cascade in the a...
متن کاملAssociative structure of fear memory after basolateral amygdala lesions in rats.
The authors have recently demonstrated that rats with basolateral amygdala (BLA) lesions acquire Pavlovian fear conditioning after overtraining. However, it is not known whether the associative basis of Pavlovian fear memory acquired by rats with BLA lesions is similar to that of intact rats. Associations are typically formed between the conditional (CS) and unconditional (US) stimuli (stimulus...
