Cholinergic Signaling Alters Stress-Induced Sensitization of Hippocampal Contextual Learning
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has a profound contextual component, and has been demonstrated to alter future contextual learning. However, the mechanism by which a single traumatic event affects subsequent contextual experiences has not been ...

Learning to fear what others have feared before [PDF]
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2007 Humans, like most organisms, are built to learn what may cause us harm so that we avoid it in the future. I learned the truth of this statement as a young boy when I decided to touch the burner of an electric stove just after it had been turned off. As I touched the burner I noticed a light illuminated on the stove panel, thereby learning to associate ...

Rapid synaptic potentiation within the anterior cingulate cortex mediates trace fear learning
Molecular Brain, 2012 Although the cortex has been extensively studied in long-term memory storage, less emphasis has been placed on immediate cortical contributions to fear memory formation.

ABL1 in thalamus is associated with safety but not fear learning
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013 In auditory fear conditioning a tone is paired with a footshock, establishing long lasting fear memory to the tone. In safety learning these stimuli are presented in an unpaired non-overlapping manner and enduring memories to the tone as a safety signal ...

MeCP2 in cholinergic interneurons of nucleus accumbens regulates fear learning
eLife, 2020 Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) encoded by the MECP2 gene is a transcriptional regulator whose mutations cause Rett syndrome (RTT). Mecp2-deficient mice show fear regulation impairment; however, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this ...

BDNF-dependent consolidation of fear memories in the perirhinal cortex
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013 In the recent years the perirhinal cortex (PRh) has been identified as a crucial brain area in fear learning. Since the neurotrophin BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is an important mediator of synaptic plasticity and also crucially involved in ...

Appetitive behavioral traits and stimulus intensity influence maintenance of conditioned fear
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013 Individual differences in appetitive learning have long been reported, and generally divide into two classes of responses: cue- vs. reward-directed. The influence of cue- vs. reward-directed phenotypes on aversive cue processing, is less well understood.
