SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY AND EXTINCTION OF FEAR

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project allowed us to combine the work of mouse behavioral genetics, recombinant lentiviral technology and mouse behavioral studies for further work in the molecular mechanisms of amygdala functioning, synaptic plasticity, and the extinction of fear memories. We have completed the training aims of this project which were to optimize the molecular tools available to understand the role of the amygdala in the acquisition and extinction of fear.
