Behavior of rat fetuses following chemical or tactile stimulation.

abstract：:The cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that regulates synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Studies that have used conditioned fear models have established that CREB is important for the acquisition and consolidation of fear learning. The authors demonstrate that overexpressio...
