AMYGDALA MICROCIRCUITS CONTROLLING LEARNED FEAR (2014, result): “The first attempts to test the involvement of the BA nuclei in fear conditioning yielded negative results: pretraining BA lesions had little or no effect on conditioned fear (Amorapanth et al., 2000; Goosens and Maren, 2001; Nader et al., 2001).”
Microstimulation reveals opposing influences of prelimbic and infralimbic cortex on the expression of conditioned fear. (2006, background): “sion of conditioned freezing based on pre-training lesions (Goosens and Maren 2001; Nader et al. 2001; Sotres-Bayon et al. 2004), we recently showed that post-training lesions of BA abolish the expression of previously acquired fear memories (AngladaFigueroa and Quirk 2005).”
Long-term potentiation and memory. (2004, background): “Consistently, lesions of the amygdala have also been shown to result in deficits in fear conditioning (114, 200), while phthalic acid lesions of the nucleus basilis magnocellularis, from which there is a dense cholinergic projection to the basolateral amygdala, have been shown to lead to a profound ”
The amygdaloid complex: anatomy and physiology. (2003, methodology): “Within the basolateral complex, selective lesions of the lateral amygdala disrupt fear conditioning (9, 72, 117, 184, 281).”
Neural circuits and mechanisms involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning: a critical review. (2006, background): “abolish the expression of conditioned freezing (Goosens and Maren, 2001) and fearpotentiated startle (Campeau and Davis, 1995).”
Plastic Synaptic Networks of the Amygdala for the Acquisition, Expression, and Extinction of Conditioned Fear (2010, unknown): “First, CE lesions block or reduce the expression of conditioned fear responses (60, 141).”
Synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala: a cellular hypothesis of fear conditioning. (2001, background): “First, damage restricted to the LA prevents the acquisition and expression of fear responses to an auditory CS (LeDoux et al. 1990; Amorapanth et al. 2000; Goosens and Maren 2001; Nader et al, 2001) showing that the LA is a necessary component of the circuitry through which the CS–”
The neuroimaging of emotion. (2008, background): “The basolateral complex plays a critical role in fear conditioning, the learning of associations between specific environmental cues and aversive outcomes (Anglada Figueroa & Quirk, 2005; Davis, 1992; Goosens & Maren, 2001; LeDoux, 2000; Nader, Majidishad, Amorapanth, & LeDoux, 2001).”
