The amygdala is not necessary for unconditioned stimulus inflation after Pavlovian fear conditioning in rats (2009)

Rabinak, Christine A., Orsini, Caitlin A., Zimmerman, Joshua M., Maren, Stephen

The basolateral complex (BLA) and central nucleus (CEA) of the amygdala play critical roles in associative learning, including Pavlovian conditioning. However, the precise role for these structures...

The central nucleus of the amygdala is essential for acquiring and expressing conditional fear after overtraining (2007)

Zimmerman, Joshua M., Rabinak, Christine A., McLachlan, Ian G., Maren, Stephen

The basolateral complex of the amygdala (BLA) is critical for the acquisition and expression of Pavlovian fear conditioning in rats. Nonetheless, rats with neurotoxic BLA lesions can acquire...

Pontine stimulation overcomes developmental limitations in the neural mechanisms of eyeblink conditioning (2005)

Freeman, John H., Rabinak, Christine A., Campolattaro, Matthew M.

Pontine neuronal activation during auditory stimuli increases ontogenetically between postnatal days (P) P17 and P24 in rats. Pontine neurons are an essential component of the conditioned stimulus...

Eyeblink Conditioning in Rats Using Pontine Stimulation as a Conditioned Stimulus

Freeman, John H., Rabinak, Christine A.

Previous studies using rabbits and ferrets found that electrical stimulation of the pontine nuclei or middle cerebellar peduncle could serve as a conditioned stimulus (CS) in eyeblink conditioning...
