Amygdala-Prefrontal Synchronization Underlies Resistance to Extinction of Aversive Memories
Emotional memories can persist for a lifetime but can also undergo extinction. Although we know about the mechanisms involved in expression and extinction, we know very little about the mechanisms that determine whether a specific memory would persist or not. Here, we use partial reinforcement extinction effect (PREE) to explore the neural mechanisms that differentiate persistent from labile me...
متن کاملDifferential involvement of the central amygdala in appetitive versus aversive learning.
Understanding the function of the distinct amygdaloid nuclei in learning comprises a major challenge. In the two studies described herein, we used c-Fos immunolabeling to compare the engagement of various nuclei of the amygdala in appetitive and aversive instrumental training procedures. In the first experiment, rats that had already acquired a bar-pressing response to a partial food reinforcem...
متن کاملWhat the amygdala does and doesn't do in aversive learning.
Whether you are a rat or a rabbit or a mouse or a monkey, your brain is constantly learning. Indeed, one could argue that this is one of the primary purposes of the nervous system: to adapt behavior to changing environments by storing a record of experience. When experiences are aversive, the type of learning that encodes memories of such events is generally called ‘aversive learning.’ And alth...
متن کاملLasting increases in basolateral amygdala activity after emotional arousal: implications for facilitated consolidation of emotional memories.
Manipulations that reduce or enhance the activity of basolateral amygdala (BLA) neurons in the minutes to hours after training have been shown to respectively impair or facilitate retention on the inhibitory avoidance task. Although this suggests that BLA activity is altered after emotional arousal, such changes have not been directly demonstrated. To test this, we devised a feline analog of th...
متن کاملOscillations Synchronize Amygdala-to-Prefrontal Primate Circuits during Aversive Learning.
The contribution of oscillatory synchrony in the primate amygdala-prefrontal pathway to aversive learning remains largely unknown. We found increased power and phase synchrony in the theta range during aversive conditioning. The synchrony was linked to single-unit spiking and exhibited specific directionality between input and output measures in each region. Although it was correlated with the ...
