“…Evidence for serotonin's involvement in FE processes comes mainly from studies investigating the relationship between different SSRIs and FE learning. Most commonly prescribed antidepressants—fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, and citalopram—have the ability to facilitate the extinction of conditioned fear (Karpova et al, 2011; Montoya et al, 2020; Pedraza et al, 2019; Popova et al, 2014) and restore impaired extinction learning induced by different stressors (Pereira‐Figueiredo et al, 2017; Regue et al, 2019; Uniyal et al, 2019). SSRI‐induced augmentation of FE was associated with enhanced NMDAR expression in the amygdala and hippocampus (Popova et al, 2014), increased AMPAR hippocampal signaling (Gottschalk et al, 2018), and altered levels of BDNF mRNA and protein in the amygdala (Karpova et al, 2011; Regue et al, 2019), cortex (Uniyal et al, 2019), and hippocampus (Karpova et al, 2011; Regue et al, 2019; Uniyal et al, 2019).…”
