Abstract
Sex and strain differences in the passive avoidance learning and extinction in male and female of DISC1-L100P mice and wild-type control mice were investigated. It was shown that male and female mice of both strains were well trained in the conditioned response of passive avoidance, but differed in fear memory extinction, the ability to form a new memory trace about the safety of the previously punished dark compartment of apparatus in the procedure of repeated testing. There was a deficit of fear memory extinction in females of DISC1-L100P and C57BL/6 mice compared to males. At the same time, interstrain differences in the dynamics of passive avoidance extinction in female mice of these strains were revealed. Results also showed that DISC1-L100P males differed from C57BL/6 in terms of the time to achieve complete extinction of this reaction.
