The Role of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex in the Conditioning and Extinction of Fear.

abstract：:Rats use their whiskers to extract a wealth of information about their immediate environment, such as the shape, position or texture of an object. The information is conveyed to mechanoreceptors located within the whisker follicle in the form of a sequence of whisker deflections induced by the whisker/object contact i...
