Hippocampus and contextual fear conditioning: Recent controversies and advances (2001, background): “Because we have reported a similar complete loss of context and tone conditional fear after basolateral amygdala damage (Maren et al., 1996a), exploration of this possibility is a necessity.”
Reactivation of neural ensembles during the retrieval of recent and remote memory. (2013, unknown): “Second, we did not observe reactivation of the BLA even though the amygdala is required for the retrieval of fear memories months and years after learning [36, 37].”
Contextual and auditory fear conditioning are mediated by the lateral, basal, and central amygdaloid nuclei in rats. (2001, background): “For example, lesions of the amygdala have been shown to disrupt both the acquisition and expression of conditional fear (Kapp et al. 1979; LeDoux et al. 1990a; Sananes and Davis 1992; Falls and Davis 1995; Lee et al. 1996; Maren et al. 1996a; Maren 1999b).”
Neural circuits and mechanisms involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning: a critical review. (2006, methodology): “…infusions of APV dramatically interfere with the expression of multiple measures of conditioned fear, such as freezing (Lee and Kim, 2004; Maren et al., 1996b), USV, analgesia, defecation (Lee et al., 2001b), as well as fear-potentiated startle (Fendt, 2001); these results indicate that…”
Neurobiology of Pavlovian fear conditioning. (2001, background): “…(Cousens & Otto 1998), and visual CSs (Sananes & Davis 1992), and these deficits are manifest when one measures freezing (Cousens & Otto 1998, Maren et al 1996a), defecation (Antoniadis & McDonald 2000), hypoalgesia (Helmstetter 1992, Watkins et al 1993), potentiated acoustic startle…”
Contextual Fear Memories Formed in the Absence of the Dorsal Hippocampus Decay Across Time (2012, background): “That is, the BLA is integral to fear learning and memory (Fanselow and LeDoux, 1999), and damage to the BLA results in a massive deficit in fear acquisition and expression (Maren et al., 1996).”
