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 …

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 …

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 …

Distinct populations of NMDA receptors at subcortical and cortical inputs to principal cells of
the lateral amygdala. Fear conditioning involves the transmission of sensory stimuli to the …

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 …

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 …

Glutamate receptors in the basolateral complex of the amygdala (BLA) are essential for the
acquisition, expression and extinction of Pavlovian fear conditioning in rats. Recent work …

Exposure to an acute stressful event facilitates classical eye-blink conditioning in the male
rat. The facilitation persists for days after the stressor and its induction is prevented by …

NMDA receptors within the amygdala play an important role in the acquisition and
expression of conditioned fear. Because amygdaloid injections of NMDA receptor …

David De Wied had a fundamental interest in the brain and behaviour, with a particular
interest in the interface between cognition and emotion, and how impairments at this …
