“…The endocannabinoid system has been consistently reported to modulate fear memory extinction and stress/fear coping strategies, in male rodents (Colangeli, Morena, Pittman, Hill, & Teskey, 2020; Gunduz‐Cinar et al, 2013; Heinz, Genewsky, & Wotjak, 2017; Llorente‐Berzal et al, 2015; Marsicano et al, 2002; Metna‐Laurent et al, 2012; Morena et al, 2016, 2019, 2018). Increased AEA has been shown to promote fear extinction by reducing expression of freezing (Bitencourt, Pamplona, & Takahashi, 2008; Chhatwal, Davis, Maguschak, & Ressler, 2005; Gunduz‐Cinar et al, 2013; Marsicano et al, 2002; Pamplona, Bitencourt, & Takahashi, 2008) via activation of CB 1 receptors on forebrain glutamatergic neurons (Llorente‐Berzal et al, 2015).…”
