Abstract
GENERAL COMMENTARY article Front. Behav. Neurosci., 19 July 2012Sec. Learning and Memory Volume 6 - 2012 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fnbeh.2012.00042
Highlights
A prevailing view regarding the systems neurobiology of memory formation is that different types of memory are mediated by relatively independent brain systems
To what is observed in experiments using classic contextual fear conditioning (CFC) (Young et al, 1994), inhibitory avoidance (IA) training can be experimentally divided into two components: (1) context learning, which depends on N-methyl-daspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors in the dorsal hippocampus, and (2) contextfootshock association, which is impaired by NMDA receptor blockade in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) but not in the hippocampus (Roesler et al, 1998, 2003)
According to the established view of multiple memory systems, one could assume that the dorsal striatum would be important for the processing of memories for tasks based on procedural learning, but not for the initial learning of single-trial fear-motivated tasks
Summary
A prevailing view regarding the systems neurobiology of memory formation is that different types of memory are mediated by relatively independent brain systems.
