Some psychiatric illnesses involve a learned component. For example, in PTSD, memories triggered by trauma-associated cues trigger fear and anxiety, and in addiction, drug-associated cues elicit drug craving and withdrawal. Clinical interventions to reduce the impact of conditioned cues in eliciting these maladaptive conditioned responses are likely to be beneficial. Extinction is a method of lessening conditioned responses and involves repeated exposures to a cue in the absence of the event it once predicted. We believe that an improved understanding of the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms of extinction will allow extinction-like procedures in the clinic to become more effective. Research on the role of glutamate – the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain – in extinction has led to the development of pharmacotherapeutics to enhance the efficacy of extinction-based protocols in clinical populations. In this review we describe what has been learned about glutamate actions at its three major receptor types (NMDA receptors, AMPA receptors, and metabotropic glutamate receptors) in extinction of conditioned fear, drug craving, and withdrawal. We then discuss how those findings have been applied in clinical research.
