The contribution of glutamate to synaptic transmission, plasticity and development is well
established; current evidence is based on diverse approaches to decipher function and …

Typically, emotionally charged events are better remembered than neutral ones. This paper
reviews data indicating that the amygdala is responsible for this facilitation of memory by …

Information storage in the brain is a temporally graded process involving different memory
types or phases. It has been assumed for over a century that one or more short-term memory …

Previous studies have indicated that stress-activated glucocorticoid hormones induce
temporary memory retrieval impairment. The present study examined whether adrenal …

Withdrawal anxiety is a significant factor contributing to continued alcohol abuse in
alcoholics. This anxiety is long-lasting, can manifest well after the overt physical symptoms …

Evidence that lesions of the basolateral amygdala complex (BLC) impair memory for fear
conditioning in rats, measured by lack of “freezing” behavior in the presence of cues …

We examined the influence of extensive overtraining (75 trials) of auditory fear conditioning
on the expression of conditional stimulus (CS)‐elicited spike firing in lateral amygdala (LA) …

Rats were implanted bilaterally with cannulae in the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus,
the entorhinal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, posterior parietal cortex, or the basolateral …

An implicit assumption guiding many studies of neurochemical systems involved in learning
and memory in animal subjects is that animal and human memory systems use the same or …

Lesions of the lateral/basolateral amygdala nuclei (BLC) disrupt freezing behaviour in
response to explicit or contextual cues (conditioned stimuli–CS) paired previously with …
