Dopamine is necessary for cue-dependent fear conditioning.

7 Sep 2009 Dopamine (DA) is implicated in many behaviors, including motor function, cognition, and reward processing; however, the role of DA in fear processing remains equivocal. To examine the role of DA in fear-related learning, dopamine-deficient (DD) mice ... Read more...

Cannabinoid receptor activation in the basolateral amygdala blocks the effects of stress on the conditioning and extinction of inhibitory avoidance.

7 Sep 2009 Despite the efficacy of behavior therapy for human anxiety disorders, extinction-like treatments require repeated cue exposures and are vulnerable to reversal by a number of environmental factors, particularly stress. The endocannabinoid system has ... Read more...

Regulation of kinesin light chain 1 level correlates with the development of morphine reward in the mouse brain.

2 Sep 2009 Persistent changes that take place during the development of opioid addiction are thought to be due to reorganization of synaptic connections in relevant brain circuits. This neuronal plasticity requires trafficking of signaling molecules that are ... Read more...
