A role for alpha-adrenergic receptors in extinction of conditioned fear and cocaine conditioned place preference.

abstract：:The hippocampus has been implicated in anxiety, novelty detection, spatial- contextual processing, and hyperactivity. Accordingly, the authors contrasted the role of the dorsal hippocampus (DH) and the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) in an open field task that presents the onset and termination of a bright light gr...
