Exploring the molecular mechanism underlying emotional memory is important for understanding not only how the brain works, but also how psychiatric disorder such as PTSD occurs. It has been known that expression of genes involved in the formation and maintenance of long-term fear memory is dynamically changed during the processes of emotional memory. In this study to know the contribution of microRNA in the processes of fear memory formation, genome-wide screening of microRNAs whose expression is altered in the amygdala after fear conditioning using microRNA microarray. As a result,13 microRNAs were identified: 3 were increased and 10 were decreased. Investigation of the role of these microRNAs will allow us a better understanding of the new aspects of communication between the synapse and the nucleus underlying the long-term retention of emotional memory.

探索情绪记忆的基本机制不仅对于理解大脑的工作方式，而且对于PTSD等精神疾病的发生方式都很重要。众所周知，在情绪记忆过程中，与长期恐惧记忆形成和维持有关长期恐惧记忆的表达发生了变化。在这项研究中，了解microRNA在恐惧记忆形成的过程中的贡献，对microRNA的全基因组筛查，其在使用microRNA微阵列调节后在杏仁核中改变了表达。结果，确定了13个microRNA：增加了3个，减少了10个。对这些microRNA的作用的研究将使我们可以更好地理解突触与长期保留情绪记忆的基础核之间交流的新方面。
