This study tests if opioid receptor blockade in the vlPAG affects avoidance learning in rats, finding no significant impairment in acquisition or performance.

This study examines how chronic restraint stress affects two active avoidance tasks in rats, finding impaired acquisition in two-way active avoidance but no effect on platform-mediated avoidance or extinction.

This study investigates whether safety signals in a two-way active avoidance task acquire reward-like properties by assessing their impact on avoidance learning and approach behavior in male rats.

This study modifies a platform-mediated avoidance task to assess fear learning in male and female rats, revealing sex differences in avoidance, generalization, and extinction, and introduces an automated behavioral scoring system.

This study investigates the effect of dopamine receptor blockade on avoidance learning in rats, finding that D1R antagonism acutely impairs avoidance but not long-term learning.

This study shows that high threat intensity increases fear generalization and reduces the effectiveness of extinction training using a generalization stimulus.

This study investigates the effect of D2R agonists on fear generalization in male rats and finds no evidence of such an effect.

This study tests drug-induced post-retrieval amnesia for auditory fear memories in rats but finds no evidence of reduced fear memory expression after drug administration.

The paper investigates whether drug-induced amnesia after reactivating memories through a generalization stimulus (ABB design) shares features with typical reconsolidation interference, showing it depends on prediction error and GluN2B-NMDA receptor activity.
