Reduction Of Prelimbic Inhibitory Gating Of Auditory Evoked Potentials After Fear Conditioning, Howard Cromwell Dec 2008

Reduction Of Prelimbic Inhibitory Gating Of Auditory Evoked Potentials After Fear Conditioning, Howard Cromwell

Howard Casey Cromwell

Inhibitory gating (IG) is a basic central nervous system process for filtering repetitive sensory information. Although IG deficits coincide with cognitive and emotional dysfunction in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders, limited research has been completed on the basic, functional nature of IG. Persistent IG occurs in rat prelimbic medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a crucial site for modulating emotional learning. To investigate the interaction of affect and IG, we recorded local field potentials (LFP) directly from prelimbic mPFC and examined the influence of tone-shock fear conditioning (FC) on IG. Behavioral reactions during IG were observed before and after FC, and increase …
