Inhibition of estradiol synthesis impairs fear extinction in male rats.
Emerging research has demonstrated that the sex hormone estradiol regulates fear extinction in female rodents and women. Estradiol may also regulate fear extinction in males, given its role in synaptic plasticity in both sexes. Here we report that inhibition of estradiol synthesis during extinction training, via the aromatase inhibitor fadrozole, significantly impairs extinction recall in male ...
متن کاملChronic stress impairs recall of extinction of conditioned fear.
Chronic restraint stress produces retraction of apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons in medial prefrontal cortex. To begin to examine the functional significance of this dendritic reorganization, we assessed the effects of chronic restraint stress on a prefrontally mediated behavior, extinction of conditioned fear. After bar press training to obtain a baseline of activity against which to meas...
متن کاملEnhancing dopaminergic signaling and histone acetylation promotes long-term rescue of deficient fear extinction
Extinction-based exposure therapy is used to treat anxiety- and trauma-related disorders; however, there is the need to improve its limited efficacy in individuals with impaired fear extinction learning and to promote greater protection against return-of-fear phenomena. Here, using 129S1/SvImJ mice, which display impaired fear extinction acquisition and extinction consolidation, we revealed tha...
متن کاملInhibition of Cav2.2-mediated signaling disrupts conditioned fear extinction
Neuronal voltage gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are well known for its importance in synaptic transmission and signaling pathway in the specific circuits. On the other hand, the role of different VGCCs in the cognitive functions has not been studied. Although it has been reported that fear extinction requires Cav2.1-regulated N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor signaling, Cav2.2-regulated syna...
متن کامل2-arachidonoylglycerol signaling in forebrain regulates systemic energy metabolism.
The endocannabinoid system plays a critical role in the control of energy homeostasis, but the identity and localization of the endocannabinoid signal involved remain unknown. In the present study, we developed transgenic mice that overexpress in forebrain neurons the presynaptic hydrolase, monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL), which deactivates the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (2-AG). M...
