Competition between neurons is necessary for refining neural circuits during development and may be important for selecting the neurons that participate in encoding memories in the adult brain. To examine neuronal competition during memory formation, we conducted experiments with mice in which we manipulated the function of CREB (adenosine 3´,5´-monophosphate response element–binding protein) in subsets of neurons. Changes in CREB function influenced the probability that individual lateral amygdala neurons were recruited into a fear memory trace. Our results suggest a competitive model underlying memory formation, in which eligible neurons are selected to participate in a memory trace as a function of their relative CREB activity at the time of learning. C ompetition is a fundamental property of many biological systems and creates selective pressure between individual elements. For example, competition between bilateral monocular neural inputs mediates ocu-lar dominance plasticity (1, 2). The transcription factor CREB (adenosine 3´,5´-monophosphate response element–binding protein) has been implicated in this competition in the developing brain (3, 4). The finding that only a portion of eligible neurons participate in a given memory (5–8) suggests that competition between neurons may also underlie plasticity in adult brain. Plasticity within the lateral amygdala (LA) is required for auditory conditioned-fear memories (7, 9–11). Although ~70% of LA neurons receive the necessary sensory input, only one-quarter exhibit auditory fear conditioning–induced plasticity (6, 7). We found that a similar proportion of LA cells show activated CREB (phosphoryl-ation at Ser 133) after auditory fear conditioning (Fig. 1A), which suggests a role for CREB in determining which neurons are recruited into the fear memory trace. To examine this result, we manipulated CREB function in a similar portion of LA neurons by microinjecting replication-defective herpes simplex viral vectors expressing endogenous or dominant-negative CREB (CREB WT and CREB S133A , respectively) fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) (12). To maximize the relative difference in CREB function between neurons, we first increased CREB levels in a subset …
