The data clearly show that NAL has no effect on ERK phosphorylation driven by four exposures to the CS, strongly suggesting the amygdala and mPFC only come under the influence of the vlPAG when significant extinction learning occurs. | |||||||||||||||

|
This experiment allowed us to determine if the decrease in ERK phosphorylation in the amygdala and mPFC seen in the previous experiment following NAL infusion is specific to a procedure that results in the formation of extinction memory or if NAL decreases ERK phosphorylation related to retrieval or reconsolidation of memory. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Because ERK activity is not simply related to one aspect of learning or memory, we tested the effect of NAL in the vlPAG on ERK phosphorylation driven by four presentations of the CS. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The effects of NAL on fear extinction and the phosphorylation of ERK might reflect a disruption in reacting to changes in expectancy during learning (McNally and Cole, 2006). | |||||||||||||||
