Long-term potentiation and memory. (2004, background): “Predictably neuronal activity in the lateral amygdala was enhanced by the conditioned stimulus, and this preceded behavioral responses (514); more recently, it was shown that drugs that interfere with LTP in these pathways disrupt behavioral fear conditioning (61).”
The Persistence and Transience of Memory. (2017, background): “During conditioning, the CS input into LA is potentiated (McKernan and Shinnick-Gallagher, 1997; Rogan et al., 1997), such that presentation of the CS alone is now sufﬁcient to elicit fear behaviors (Blair et al., 2001).”
Hippocampal place cells acquire location-specific responses to the conditioned stimulus during auditory fear conditioning. (2003, methodology): “…plasticity where memories of the representation of the CS-US association in the hippoCS-US association are stored (Fanselow and LeDoux, campus (unlike in the amygdala) is somehow specific 1999; LeDoux, 2000; Maren, 2001; Blair et al., 2001). to the context in which that association was learned.”
The Emotional Brain, Fear, and the Amygdala (2003, background): “These studies suggest that during fear conditioning, both the NMDA- and VGCC-dependent forms of LTP occur in the amygdala (Bauer et al., 2002; Blair et al., 2001; Schafe et al., 2001).”
The Temporal Dynamics Model of Emotional Memory Processing: A Synthesis on the Neurobiological Basis of Stress-Induced Amnesia, Flashbulb and Traumatic Memories, and the Yerkes-Dodson Law (2007, background): “[259]; Poser and Storm [260]; Lisman et al.”
Contributions of the amygdala to emotion processing: from animal models to human behavior. (2005, background): “From Medina et al. (2002). tioning (see Maren, 2001; Schafe et al., 2001; Blair et al., 2001; Rosenkranz and Grace, 2002; Sah et al., 2003; Rodrigues et al., 2004; Rosen, 2004; Fanselow and Poulos, 2005).”
A single standard for memory: the case for reconsolidation (2009, background): “Neurons that are thought to be the site of plasticity in the LBA are proposed to receive concurrent activation through these afferent”
Neural circuits and mechanisms involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning: a critical review. (2006, background): “Thus, it has been postulated that Hebbian form of associative LTP in the amygdala is involved in fear conditioning (Blair et al., 2001; Clugnet and LeDoux, 1990; Davis, 1997; Fanselow and Kim, 1994; LeDoux, 2000; Maren and Fanselow, 1995; Miserendino et al., 1990).”
Psychobiological mechanisms of resilience and vulnerability: implications for successful adaptation to extreme stress. (2004, background): “This model proposes that calcium entry through NMDA receptors and voltage-gated calcium channels initiates the molecular processes to consolidate synaptic changes into long-term memory (156).”
