N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) contribute to synaptic plasticity underlying
learning in a variety of brain systems. Fear extinction, which involves learning to suppress …

Fear extinction, which involves learning to suppress the expression of previously learned
fear, requires N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and is mediated by the amygdala …

Extinction of conditioned fear involves new learning that inhibits but does not eliminate the
original fear memory. This inhibitory learning is thought to require activation of NMDA …

The amygdala plays a critical role in fear conditioning, a model of emotional learning and
cue-induced anxiety. In the lateral amygdala, fear conditioning is associated with an …

We examined the contribution of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) to the
acquisition and expression of amygdaloid plasticity and Pavlovian fear conditioning using …

The lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) is an essential component of the neural circuitry
underlying Pavlovian fear conditioning. Although blockade of NMDA receptors in LA and …

Within the amygdala, most N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors consist of NR1
subunits in combination with either NR2A or NR2B subunits. Because the particular subunit …

Extinction of conditioned fear is an active learning process requiring N-methyl-D-aspartate
receptors (NMDARs), but the timing, location, and neural mechanisms of NMDAR-mediated …

NMDA receptors in the amygdala seem to be critical for fear conditioning in naive rats.
Recent spatial-learning studies suggest that previous learning protected animals from the …

Mechanisms of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity contribute to the
acquisition and retention of conditioned fear memory. However, synaptic rules which may …
