Abstract:Background
Fear learning is an adaptive response to traumatic events and gradual decline of fear response on repeated exposure to stimuli can lead to fear extinction. However, a single presentation of a cue threat can reactive the fear memory through an alternative process called reconsolidation. Here we sought to investigate the role of the renin angiotensin systems (RAS) in reconsolidation to determine whether recent findings from RAS extinction studies in rodents and humans might also be explained by interf… Show more
