NMDA Receptors in the Basolateral Amygdala Complex Are Engaged for Pavlovian Fear Conditioning When an Animal's Predictions about Danger Are in Error

Author(s): Tuval Keidar

It is widely accepted that Pavlovian fear conditioning requires activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). However, it was recently shown that activation of NMDAR in the BLA is only required for fear conditioning when d ...

Danger Changes the Way the Brain Consolidates Neutral Information; and Does So by Interacting with Processes Involved in the Encoding of That Information

Author(s): Omar A Qureshi

This study examined the effect of danger on consolidation of neutral information in two regions of the rat (male and female) medial temporal lobe: the perirhinal cortex (PRh) and basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). The neutral information was the associatio ...

Prediction error determines whether NMDA receptors in the basolateral amygdala complex are involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning

Author(s): Williams-Spooner MJ; Delaney AJ; Westbrook RF; Holmes NM;

It is widely accepted that activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) is necessary for the formation of fear memories in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). This acceptance is based on findings that blockade of NMDAR in the BLA disrupts Pavlov ...

Amyloid-β (1-42) peptide induces rapid NMDA receptor-dependent alterations at glutamatergic synapses in the entorhinal cortex

Author(s): Olajide OJ; Chapman CA;

The hippocampus and entorhinal cortex (EC) accumulate amyloid beta peptides (Aß) that promote neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease, but the early effects of Aß on excitatory synaptic transmission in the EC have not been well characterized. To assess th ...

The hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology include senile plaques accumulation and neurofibrillary tangles, which is thought to underlie synaptic failure. Recent evidence however suppo ...
