The NMDA agonist D-cycloserine facilitates fear memory consolidation in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Animal research suggests that the consolidation of fear and extinction memories depends on N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA)- type glutamate receptors.

The body of fear : critical history of thought toward the political uncanny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This study examines, describes and conceptualises the politics of fear. Fear and politics are in many cases connected but the nature of their relation is often inaccurately explained.

Fear Conditioning Downregulates Rac1 Activity in the Basolateral Amygdala Astrocytes to Facilitate the Formation of Fear Memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Astrocytes are well known to scale synaptic structural and functional plasticity, while the role in learning and memory, such as conditioned fear memory, is poorly elucidated.

Behavioural memory reconsolidation of food and fear memories [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2011
The reactivation of a memory through retrieval can render it subject to disruption or modification through the process of memory reconsolidation. In both humans and rodents, briefly reactivating a fear memory results in effective erasure by subsequent extinction training.

The roles of the actin cytoskeleton in fear memory formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2011
The formation and storage of fear memory is needed to adapt behavior and avoid danger during subsequent fearful events. However, fear memory may also play a significant role in stress and anxiety disorders.

Are fear memories erasable?–reconsolidation of learned fear with fear-relevant and fear-irrelevant stimuli [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2012
Recent advances in the field of fear learning have demonstrated that a single reminder exposure prior to extinction training can prevent the return of extinguished fear by disrupting the process of reconsolidation. These findings have however proven hard to replicate in humans.

An Additional Prior Retrieval Alters the Effects of a Retrieval-Extinction Procedure on Recent and Remote Fear Memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Several studies have shown that the isolated retrieval of a consolidated fear memory can induce a labile phase, during which extinction training can prevent the reinstatement, a form of relapse in which fear response to a fear-provoking context returns ...

The brain-specific microRNA miR-128b regulates the formation of fear-extinction memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that mediate post-transcriptional gene silencing. Fear-extinction learning in C57/Bl6J mice led to increased expression of the brain-specific microRNA miR-128b, which disrupted stability of several plasticity-related ...

Dissecting the role of defined neuronal populations in fear learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The astonishing plasticity of the brain and its ability for continuous learning and memory formation are among its most essential functions, since constant adaptation to the environment is critical for an animal’s survival.

Hormonal and genetic modulation of memory processes in healthy humans: focus on cortisol and "HDAC5" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Individual differences in memory performance can be due to the influence of various hormones as well as genetic variations and epigenetic modifications.
