Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the basolateral amygdala in the storage of fear memories across the adult lifetime of rats.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that BLA lesions do not disrupt freezing behavior by producing hyperactivity, an inability to suppress behavior, or an unable to freeze, and the consistent pattern of freezing deficits at both training-to-lesion intervals supports a role for the BLA in the permanent storage of fear memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Context fear learning in the absence of the hippocampus.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that alternative systems can acquire context fear but do so less efficiently than the hippocampus, and that animals with complete hippocampus lesions could also learn about the context, although the same lesions produced devastating retrograde amnesia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychostimulants and Cognition: A Continuum of Behavioral and Cognitive Activation

TL;DR: A continuum of psychostimulant activation that covers the transition from one drug effect to another as stimulant intake is increased is proposed, which helps account for the seemingly disparate effects of stimulant drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated assessment of pavlovian conditioned freezing and shock reactivity in mice using the video freeze system.

TL;DR: An extensive validation of the Video Freeze system in mice is reported, a “turn-key” all-inclusive system for fear conditioning in small animals using digital video and near-infrared lighting, which achieved outstanding performance in scoring both freezing and movement.
