A role for the ventral hippocampal endocannabinoid system in fear-conditioned analgesia and fear responding in the presence of nociceptive tone in rats.
The endogenous cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) system plays an important role in fear-conditioned analgesia (FCA) and expression and extinction of conditioned fear. The hippocampus has an established role in both pain and conditioned fear and is a substrate for endocannabinoid activity. This study aimed to investigate the role of the endocannabinoid system in the ventral hippocampus (vHip) in FCA...
متن کاملModulation of conditioned fear, fear-conditioned analgesia, and brain regional c-Fos expression following administration of muscimol into the rat basolateral amygdala.
UNLABELLED Evidence suggests that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signalling in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is involved in pain, fear, and fear-conditioned analgesia (FCA). In this study, we investigated the effects of intra-BLA administration of the GABA(A) receptor agonist muscimol on the expression of conditioned-fear, formalin-evoked nociception, and fear-conditioned analgesia in rats, an...
متن کاملDistinct regions of the periaqueductal gray are involved in the acquisition and expression of defensive responses.
In fear conditioning, a rat is placed in a distinct environment and delivered footshock. The response to the footshock itself is called an activity burst and includes running, jumping, and vocalization. The fear conditioned to the distinct environment by the footshock elicits complete immobility termed freezing. Lesions of the ventral periaqueductal gray (vPAG) strongly attenuate freezing. Howe...
متن کاملMicroinjection of calcitonin in midbrain periaqueductal gray attenuates hyperalgesia in a chronic constriction injury rat model
Objective(s): As heat, pain is one of the most common clinical symptoms. Generally, calcitonin (CT) is prescribed as an analgesic agent for the treatment of pain, especially for the pain caused by osteoporosis or primary and metastatic bone tumor. However, the detailed mechanism remains unknown.Materials and Methods: In this study, chronic constriction injury (CCI) rat model was created, and ho...
متن کاملAmygdalar nmda receptors are critical for the expression of multiple conditioned fear responses.
There is conflicting evidence regarding the issue of whether NMDA receptors in the basolateral amygdalar complex (BLA) are critically involved in the expression of conditioned fear. This matter was addressed by infusing the rat BLA with d,l-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV), a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist. APV infusion into the BLA was reported to block the expression of conditioned...
